Poured up at the Oldsmar Tap House with crystal clear watery colored body and some nice legginess. The aroma is full sweetness, honey, sugary grapes, sugary raspberries and some ripe peach. The taste is typical yummy smooth velvety goodness with notes of honey, sugary sweet green apples and a sense of sugar coated peaches. Lingering behind in the background are mild notes of sweet berry juice.

Bouteille de 75cl @ Luekens Liquor. Couleur est dorée très clair. L’arôme est complexe de fleurs d’oranger et autres arbres fruités. L’aspect unique de cet hydromel vient de l’ajout de chêne américain qui donne au nez une note boisé, limite épicée. Le goût est dans la même lignée, le chêne donne vraiment un côté épicé qui tend à prendre le dessus mais suivi par la douceur du miel de fleur d’orange, le tout laisse une fine couche collante de sucre sur les lèvres. La fin conserve cette note naturelle/sauvage de ruche qui se mélange parfaitement avec le bois. Un délice!

Bottle shared by Kyle, thanks! Poured a clear watery color with a slight yellow hue and no head whatsoever. Aroma had a sweet floral note with some lemon, syrup and honey with a slight tart note. Flavor was quite syrupy with floral and honey coming through with a bit of lemon in the finish. The mead was quite thick and syrupy on the tongue.

bouteille @ OTH. couleur est cuivrée, plate. Arôme est voluptueux de fraises, avec des notes de florales. En se réchauffant l’hydromel gagne bien ce cote un peu terre que l’on ressent avec les fraises. Goût, fraise, miel, palais est mi-sucré si on le compare a ses camardes polonais. Le palais est visqueux, qcq épices et une forte présence de fraises tout en conservant cette balance avec le miel. Vraiment bien réalisé. Cet hydromel se laisse déguster, savoureux, épais.

bouteille @ OTH. couleur, dorée claire, plate. arôme, ananas, noix de coco, miel et fleurs d’orange. Goût, l’ananas semble dominer tout en laissant passer de bonnes notes de noix de coco qui reste un peu en retrait. L’aspect au palais a de bonnes notes tropicales, le palais conserve un aspect sirop/collant mielleux. Cet hydromel est sympa et le côté ananas et noix de coco reste hors des habitudes pour ce style de boisson.

375ml bottle thanks to badnewsbeers. Pours with a hazed golden body with laser etched legs. Aroma is hay, spicy, grape skins, tannins, honey and alcohol. Flavors are sort of spicy and grain like (strange), earthy, spicy, with a lingering floral-fruit-wine grape note. Some light citrus like acidity as well. Medium viscosity for a mead of this size. Good tannins which seem to offset the sweetness and dry it out a bit. Very floral honey, that lends an odd character to the mead.

Bottle. Pours a clear orange with a pink hue with no head whatsoever. Aroma has a nice tart cranberry note, a bit of dry citrus and a backing honey that balanced nicely. Flavor is sweet with citrus honey with a really nice tart cranberry note that really came out in the finish. I really enjoyed this.

Sampled at Great Lakes Brew Fest in Racine, WI. I’m a definite fan of mead, but I rarely have it as not many people I know like it and I can’t drink a whole bottle. I was happy to have some of this after a long day of drinking only beer. Man, this was fantastic stuff and probably the best thing I had all day. Just an explosion of flavors upon first sip, equal mixtures of honey, vanilla, and what seemed to be a whole cinnamon stick. Will definitely buy a bottle and break it out on special dessert occasions.

Bottle as an extra form pantap! One hell of an extra. If you want to send me good extras, finding unrated meads is ALWAYS highly appreciated! Pours with a mostly clear, very pale golden body with great legs. Aroma of honey, earthy, spicy, florals, coffee (?), vanilla, oak, tannins. Thistle, sage, grass. Graham crackers and cereal. Taste is medium to heavily sweet in the finish. Nice herbal honey character. Very fresh, reminds me of the outdoors. A bit oily, with a long duration. Flowers, earth and grass. Really strong floral taste up front followed by a lingering, lightly oaky sweetness. Somewhat light bodied for what I was expecting. Good stuff, really nice!
