Bouteille. Ambrée claire, col blanc. Rien bien spécial, note finement aigrelette de la canneberge avec une fine note épiée de gingembre. Le tout gardant une fine dose de malt pils, léger houblonné noble proche d’un soda-pop. Sans être révolutionnaire, ce shandy à au moins le mérite d’être original.

Pretty random bottle brought to a party. Sure, why not? Pinkish. Cranberry and ginger as predicted. Reasonably balanced, but pretty bland and uninteresting.

Bottle. Pours cloudy peach yellow white head. Nose/taste of grapefruit juice, honey and wheat - light bodied.

Growler from Albertsons. Honey sweetness, as expected, dominates aroma and taste. Orange copper body with airy head. Straight forward Mead, hints of rye on the back end. Leinie’s rises again....

Bottle. Pours a clear deep amber brown with a creamy tan head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a rich cherry and dark grain combination with a hint of chocolate backing. Flavor has more chocolate that combines well with dark grains and cherry.

Sample at the "Drink Moar Beer!" tasting on 06/12/2015: Hazy straw color with a medium thin white head that burns away quickly to an outer ring. Spotty lacing. Wheat, ginger and malt in the nose. Light-bodied with flavors of citrus, mildly spicy ginger and wheat. The finish is fruity with a ginger aftertaste. Average overall.

Pours a cloudy pale orange color with a thin white head that burns away quickly to an outer ring. Spotty lacing. Oranges and wheat in the nose. Light-bodied with a candied orange character with wheat and malt in the background. The finish is fruity with an orange soda aftertaste. Okay for what it is.

12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, best before 10/12/2015. Pours fairly crystal clear golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a spotty cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of pear, apple, white grape, berry, honey, cracker, toasted bread, herbal, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Nice aromas with good balance of honey, bready malt, and fruity yeast notes; with good strength. A bit too phenolic/boozy in the nose, but not too bad. Taste of pear, apple, white grape, berry, honey, cracker, toasted bread, herbal, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Light herbal/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of pear, apple, grape, berry, honey, cracker, toasted bread, herbal, light pepper, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a short bit. Very nice balance and robustness of honey, bready malt, and fruity yeast notes; with a good malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. A fair amount of dryness is present as well. Medium-high carbonation and medium bodied; with a very smooth and crisp mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a slight warmth lingering after the finish. Overall this is a very good Braggot style. All around good balance and robustness of honey, bready malt, and fruity yeast flavors; and very smooth and crisp to sip on for the big ABV. A nicely enjoyable offering, but could have used a bit more complexity overall in flavors.
