0.5l bottle shared with The Tasting Crew. Lovely blood-orange/cherry red color in the glass with a small bubbly quickly side sticking top. Looks really nice, and the aroma? Oh, my that's a different aroma! It's as original as original gets. Something slightly woody and tart, blood orange, citrus, almond cake and brett? What is this? It has a little carbonation, soft prickling but present. The taste is both light tart, sweet and red. Yeah it tastes red in a way. Wood, honey, red grapes, lots of both sweet and tart cherries, slightly astringent, well perhaps not astringent but slightly mouthdrying in the finish. A creation I'm really struggling to understand, but I think I'm kinda liking it. 20.03.2013

Pours slightly carbonated pear into a tulip. Bright white bubbles quickly recede to nothing. Wax lips and pepper aromas. Thin and lightly carbonated with sweet tropical fruit and honey front to back. Medium length pepper and apple finish.

375 mL bottle. Pours a dark bronze color. Weak legs. Aroma of rich coffee, fruity notes, chocolate and mild honey. The taste is coffee, honey, citrus. earth. Medium bodied, moderate booze. Weird, and I’m not yet sold on coffee mead, but its not horrible.

My 11th B. Nektar rating, and the first one obtained in my home state. Thanks for coming to Virginia guys! Half liter bottle from Beer Run. Pours a clear pale yellow color, a wisp of fizz, weak legs. Big mango notes in the aroma along with honey, mild tannins, earth and something oddly reminiscent of an auto-repair shop. Those are some strange descriptors I just linked together, so I’ll point out that it does smell nice. The taste is tart mango and citrus, some lemongrass, green apple candy, honey, faint pepper. Medium bodied. Certainly a different mead, but fairly nice.
