Pours clear, dark redpurple. Smell is sharp, tad tanninic, fruity. Honey is hidden. Taste is full, intensely tanninic, fairly dry, yet it has a certain sweetness remaining. fruity (berries, obviously) aromatic finish. A good table company mead, fitting a meal where you'd pick a red wine.

Pours clear, darker pale yellow. Scent is funky, low quality applejuice. Not fresh and bright as hoped. Taste is sweet, fairly full, apples aren't really fresh, bit too extract for me.

Pours clear pale yellow, scent is fine, honey (gentle) mild potpourri like herbal notes. Taste is less sweet than the others by Sweet Rebel I tried so far. Fairly dry, even. Spices are sharp, bit generic. Bit 'plastic' like finish. By far my least favourite by them so far.

Pours clear, bordeaux red. Scent is full on cherry. Sweet cherry, obviously. Not too candy like, but not really complex either. Taste is pretty candy-like though, heavy sweet-on-sweet kinda thing. Syrupy, sweet cherry . A lot to take in as a drink, but I see this working in foodpairing or actual cooking.

Pours clear, pale yellow. Scent is full, more bright and floral than the regular 'klassieke'. Taste is full, more bright and floral in the taste as well. Perceived sweetness is actually lower, rather than the expected sweeter result by 0.5% ABV less fermented sugars. Anyway, it's hard to pinpoint a favorite between the 2 for me as they're truly only to tell appart when sampled side by side.

Pours green, clear and bright, very arteficially lookin' though. Scent is full, basic honey. Taste is basic honey (simple, but not bad) , sweet, but not that thick nor sticky. The hemp doesn't give much to me, than again i'm not to familiar with the herb... Colored mead (arteficially) which speaks for itself. This is a gimmick mead, not a mead made for the real connaiseurs.
