Hazy deep blond color. Although the French often use buckwheat honey for Mead, this one has the most evident aroma of buckwheat, and honey; breadish, rustic, but very interesting. Very sweet, but not syrupy; and the sweetness is cut by the strong alcohol feeling; in the front there is also some light acidity and very light carbonation; the honey flavor is clear, as evident are, once again, its roots; there is a very light bitterness in the final, that in a buckwheat Mead doesn’t disturb as in other more floral ones; and the alcohol warms the mouth. Nice, sharp, peculiar.

Blond color with faded copper and pink shades. Very strong smell of sewage water; followed by light aroma of fruits and Band Aid-like chemicals. Semi-sweet flavor with an immediate alcohol presence; mild honey flavor with light fruity touch; in the final the alcohol is too evident, burning, there are light traces of chemicals, and some astringency on the gums.
It’s not a bad idea, but it has been pushed a bit too far.

Bottle 37,5 cl. Courtesy of TheCheeseMan. Pours a pale pink - yeah, pale pink it is. Quite some sweet cherry up there in the nose - honey not so much. Rich body, slightly sparkling, some berry sweetness but also a solvent tang. Strangely it ends pretty bitter. 250311
