clear orange no head. typical mead aroma, honey, spicy bitter and alc bitter. appears balanced. palate is surprisingly watery. flavor is fruity, sort of apple like, flowers, honey. disturbingly easy to drink, considering the 14% alc. The thin palate works way better than i would have expected.

bottle from papsoe. clear orange, no head. flowery and honey sweet aroma. not much bitterness, whch i like. a little acetone which i don’t like that much. flavor is citrussy, honey, sort of white wineish note below all the honey, concentrated. imagine blending an ice cider with mead.. Inyeresting flavor, but it works fine.

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of fiulijn. Pours a pale amber with a slight haze. Complex aroma, honey, wood and spices with an oxidized touch. Medium body, sweet caramel, honey and marzipan, but also an acetic touch that adds an enticing tart edge. Delicieuse! 070910

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of fiulijn. Pours a clear deep golden. Nose is a little spicy, honeyish yet dry. The body is rather light. There’s some marzipan, honey and flower notes, but generally this is very, very dry - almost whitewineish. The alcohol shows in the finish. There’s a little late ashes - or elderflower. Complex, but perhaps a little too dry for a mead to my liking. 070910

Bottled. A pale golden mead. The aroma has notes of honey and pollen. The flavor is sweet with notes of honey, spices, and a bit of lemon, leading to a dry finish. Thanks fiulijn for sharing.
