Tap @ Røør, Oslo. Pours nice amber - darker golden, transparent and without much of a foam. Nose has some honeycomb, honey notes are strong, feels as this honey they used was darker, more intense in flavour - and maybe not that sweet. A bit of sweetness in the taste, clearly honey in the background, drying out in the finish, leaving some creamy wax character lingering. Natural flavours, can't really pinpoint any adjuncts. Super smooth and alcohol is nowhere to be felt. Relatively dry body, is not so sweet and sticky as are some meads I have tried.

Bottle. It pours a clear candy-red body. Some pink bubbles for a head. No head expected though. The aroma has some heathery honey in the back, with raspberry doing most of the job. Sort of raspberry candy-ish. It's medium bodied and softly carbonated, semi-sweet, with flavors of raspberry and raspberry candy on top of sweet honey and a herbal, flowery touch. Medium length raspberry finish with some honey. I certainly prefer the stronger, full-bodied and really flavorful meads, but this one's sure dangerously easy drinkable, and quite tasteful too. 181031
