Light amber. The aroma is mostly straight honey mead with hardly any fruit. Soft fruitiness, alcohol, and the mead taste comes in late. The presence of fruit wine in the production of this is evident and it really takes away from the overall presentation.

Light straw colour, maybe with a slight haze. Rich honey florals with a woody alcoholic note on the nose. Very sweet, with big honey flavours. Soft body, and just a hint of alcohol to dry it out at the end...if only just a bit. Fun, fairly complex version of a sweet mead. Might get cloying if you have more than a small glass, though.

Bottle courtesy of hellbilly, thanks! I have to preface this by saying that mead is not my thing. But this was a bit better than most meads I’ve had - less sweet, decent summer fruits and spice. Could be more complex, but overall pretty good.

Bottle thanks to Hellbilly. Pours with a somewhat hazed (odd, but there is yeast at the bottom), golden color. Medium strength legs. Aroma of honey, butter, florals and peach. Taste is sweet, with fruit (berries and peach), and caramel nectar. Quite good, albeit, not very complex. Slight buttery pie crust presence too. Light to medium bodied for a mead, very pleasant. Alcohol a bit too evident, but its a nice edition.
