Draft at the Colony Meadery. Poured a totally clear, still yellow color. No head. Aroma was solid, standard honey wine. Light sweetness, very little alcohol heat, which was a bit of a surprise. Nice and tasty.

Bottle in my swag from judging Mead Free. Brilliantly clear deep yellow with a smattering of bubbles when poured but no visible signs of carbonation. Semi sweet citrusy floral honey notes. Clean well made mead that I enjoyed sipping on most of the night.

Bottle sample @ Troy’s Bday tasting @ Stein & Vine. Cuivrée, huileux au verre. Arôme au bouquet assez doux, avec une note moyenne de framboise et un léger rétro cacao. Palais est mielleux, fruit de framboise ajoutant une fine note terreuse mais contrebalancée par une pointe de vanille. Retrouve presque une douceur de rose, fleuri sur la fin. Retrouve pas spécialement le côté cacao.

Bottle at Mead Market, Portland; synthetic cork; 16% ABV
Pale blond color. The aroma is mildly fruity, light honey, fresh. Sweet, full bodied, the chili hotness is moderate, just the right amount, and the flavor is lightly fruity.
Very nice.
