Bottle, 75cl. It’s a clear one, golden in color, rather oily pour. The aroma has flowers and a touch of flowers, but when sniffing a few times, there’s some chili too. Quite chiliburning in the front of the mouth, oily in the middle and then burning in the throat. Honey and a flowery touch blends in. Although reasonably tasteful, it’s way too heavy on the chili. Little room left for the honey. Oily, warming and full-bodied. A fun experience, but not worth repeating. 111126

Bottle. A clear, golden mead with an oily pour. Almost cat pee like aroma with flowers, honey and some fruityness. Maybe some black currant bush notes. The flavor is sweet and honeyish with a solid dose of flowers. Full-bodied and with a little warmth on the palate. Seems these Honey Sun meads isn’t made for me. I don’t think they’re bad, but they’re not tasting in a way I like a mead to do. 111105
