37.5 cl bottle consumed on May 4, 2012. Thanks to sebletitje!Clear yellow color, no head. Honey, dough, alcohol scent, apple, white wine and spicy. Dry, white wine, honey, spicy, saffron, alcohol, apple, tart taste. Smooth mouthfeel, tart dry bitterness. Dry white wine and honey aftertaste.Reminds me of apple wine, or white wine of some sort, more than a traditional dry mead I’m used to. Not bad though.

Sample at the Big Tap In after-party at Vintage Estates on 04/21/2012. This Mead pours a grapefruit pink color with a minimal head and decent legs. Aroma of cherries and honey. Light to medium body with a mildly tart cherry and apple character. Some sweet honey and molasses in the background. The finish is fruity with a cherry aftertaste. Solid Mead all around.

Big thanks to my sister, ratebeer’s 15_2_Kuhnhenn. This nectar pours rug staining deep bright red, maybe like reduced plum juice, and leaving behind a good bit of legginess. The aroma is full and rich with pungent earthy berry smelling dark currants as well as well nearly bright levels of crushed up fruit skin tartness and rich sweet ripe to mildly tart cherry meat. Wow! The taste is rich and vibrant with cherry meat nuanced earthy currant sweet nectar like goodness. Wow. I frikin’ love currant used in this way. Behind those rich succulent notes are cherry to currant tartness as well as firm currant earthiness pulling this all together. It ends dry and all the flavor withers away effortlessly.

Very pale. Looks like white wine. Full-bodied mead aroma with lots of wildflower notes. Sweet but pulling some meady , woody notes in the finish and just enough alcohol to dry things out.
