Bottle. Wow, this one was eager to leave the bottle. Luckily I was warned when purchasing it and cracked it open over the kitchen sink. Got well above half of it in my glass, where it formed a gigantic, rapidly collapsing white head over a foggy orange colored body. The aroma is lovely, close to too much on the passionfruit side, as the floral honey is pushed to the far back. Still, that sort of nose-cloying scent of honey is in front, in a strange way. It's very effervescent, with a medium body fullness, and it's quite dry on the palate. Passionfruit dominates the flavor in the same way as in the aroma, but in the flavor there's even less honey detected. On the other hand, I sense elderflower, which I didn't find on the nose. Towards the finish it starts feeling sweet, but in a good way, and it isn't making the mouth sticky, far from, as it's more acidic, sort of like lemon juice acidic, but in a good, passionfruity way. A wonderful one indeed, hope they give it another try next year, and manage to control the fermentation. I'll drink more of it if they manage to. 180228

Bottle, at HaandFest. A clear, dark golden colored mead, almost flat, and quite oily. Honey, spices, juniper hints, some heather, sweet gale perhaps, and orange in the aroma. The flavor has a good dash of alcohol, with honey running the show. The same spiced, heathery and juniper-ish elements are present in the flavor, so is the orange. It's full-bodied, warming and oily on the palate, with a lasting finish. A superb mead to enjoy in a comfortable chair, or by the campfire. 170527

Bottle. Slightly cloudy golden body with a small white head. Relatively strong passion fruit aroma with a faint hint of acidic berries. Flavor is pleasant sweet, passion fruit and mild honey balancing against some light acidity. Fine body and smooth aftertaste. Tasty and easy drinkable, a very nice fruit mead.

200ml draught at Oculus. Clear dark-ruby coloured body. Shiny naked surface. Minimal lacing. Moderate, sweet and dry aroma of berries and honey. Honeyed sweet berries to the taste profile. Warming and sweet ending. Full bodied. Very nice in smaller amount, gets too sweet in the long run. 200ml was more than enough for me. (Oslo 07.02.2018).
