Light purple colour. Lots of fruit. The wine shows thorugh as well with slight meady accetns. Sweet front, then berries and finishing with some vinous notes. Not really my thing.

Very pale and slightly hazy. Attractive, very floral honey character with subtle orange notes. Very full body, very sweet honey character with light fruit and hints of orange. Good mead but not really a world beater. Needs more complexity for that.

Bottle shared by Steve. Pours dark cherry. Nose/taste of the perfect blend of black cherries with pits, cocoa, chili pepper, earthy vanilla and honey. Finishes with light chili pepper tingling the back of the palate. Fuller mouth feel than most meads. Slight dryness in trailing chili pepper finish after initial cherry/cocoa sweetness.

Honey and menthol nose. Very pale yellow, still. Honey flavor, balanced, really middle of the road on the sweetness continuum. Alcohol is within acceptable levels.

Sample at Kalamazoo Beer Exchange. Pours a clear pale yellow color with minimal head and slick legs. Aroma of sweet spices and malt. Medium body with a sweet ginger and honey character. Touches of fruit too. The finish is short and sweet with a mild ginger aftertaste. Pretty average overall.

I got to try this last night at the homebrew club meeting, thanks for the opportunity Joel! Pours a clear light pink color with a smattering of white on top that dissipates almost immediately. Smells of tart and sweet cherry juice with a hint of apple. I know this is a mead but I have trouble finding the honey underneath the tart cherries. Taste is fairly sweet up front, hits with some apple and tart cherry midway then finishes fairly dry with a lingering cherry sweetness. Medium to light body with a light level of carbonation and a sweet tart mouthfeel. This is one damn tasty beverage! I find it drinks more like a cider than a mead though.
