750ml bottle (thx, Alex). Pours a dirty brown with no head. Aroma is fruity and woody, some boozy notes. Taste is sweet, woody with some maple syrup notes. Pleasant.

750 ml wax dipped bottle bought in Montana on the Hwy 2 road trip. Aroma is honey, floral, minerals, melon. Pours a still pale gold. Taste is sweet and alcoholic, and is a bit like a honey-spiked sauvignon blanc; notes of grass, solvent, paper. Has a very faint, almost undetectable carbonation. I think it tastes good, even with the offnotes.

Bottle from Whole Foods, Seattle; synthetic cork; annoying wax dip
Measured Final Gravity: 1009
Skewed Refractometer Reading: 11.3°B
Blond color. Mild aroma, wax and some wine. Semi-dry mouthfeel, glue, wine, some bitterness in the final.
In Germany they sell mead like this for 3 euros. Not good.

Measured Final Gravity: 1017

Dark amber color. Of the three Hidden Legend meads tonight, this is the better one, more balanced, slightly sweeter, with a mild maple touch, and a feeling of Italian amaro.
Nice.

Dark amber color. Some aroma of caramel, glue, booze. Semi-dry mouthfeel, the body is too thin, and thinner in the final, also lightly astringent; a bit of caramel and candies, and some woody astringency in the final.
Drinkable, clumsy.

Some haze, has a little sweet honey character, with a bit of toasty character, so it’s not the greatest.
