Bottle thanks to Scott! Pours a hazy deep amber with absolutely no head. Aroma is full of red wine (pinot noir) giving a particularly dry note that is definitely more dominate that the sweet honey. Flavor is similarly full of red wine that again covers up the sweet mead but melds slightly better on the tongue. I did enjoy the the dryness though.

Pale gold. Honey and floral aroma, clover I think. Sweet but not too sweet flavour, rather full. Floral finish.

Location: Tap at Rattle 'N Hum, 4/17/10
Aroma: The aroma is sweet, with some fruity, some honey, and some resiny hop notes
Appearance: Pours a clear apple juice body with minimal head
Flavor: The taste is pretty sweet as well, with a slight hop presence for some balance
Palate: The carbonation is fizzy, and the body is light and refreshing
Overall Impression: This stuff was pretty interesting. Certainly a crisp and refreshing drink, though not my favorite style in the world, I do enjoy one of these every now and again.

Bottle, 75cl, blue. The oily pour leaves a clear drink with a pinkish hue and no head. Berryish nsoe with honey notes. Sweet flavor with berry sweetness, some honey, raspberry and a papery touch. Medium, almost sticky mouthfeel. A decent one, but nothing more in my book. 091024

I just don’t get meads, what beers do you know that are near 20%? From a bottle at Vintage Estates, such a nice place; 6 - 2oz samples of mead for $15, tax included. Smells a little like medicine. Clear very pale look. Quite interesting flavor; unique in many ways when compared to other meads. rather mild and enjoyable to say the least. Friendly finish and generally not bad overall for a flat mead.
