Bottle thanks to ericandersnavy. Pours with a clear pale gold body with some legs. Aroma is very buttery, sweet honey, sage and orange. Taste is sweet grapes, corn meal, fruity, sweet, cinnamon, floral. Syrupy mouthfeel. Pleasantly impressed.

Bottle thanks to ericandersnavy. A braggot that definitely leans to the beer side of things. Pours with a small white head that fades over an amber body. Aroma is sweet, honey, caramel and vinegar. Taste is bitter, straw, some alcohol and berries. Not good.

375 from BevMo in Walnut Creek/Pleasant Hill. Pours bright yellow/gold with some bubbles. Aromas of honey and orange(very slight). About medium in body. No carbonation. Flavor is honey and arguably orange. It is sweet, but it’s also tart. Bottle said chill, but I did it at about 55 deg. Really nice. Heat is slightly present. Interesting interplay with sweet and tart.

Bottle from Ray’s in Chico, CA. Pours hazy reddish amber with a foamy off-white head. Aromas of harshly roasted malt and honey. Medium body with lightly foamy carbonation. Hop is light, and the honey tends to dominate - but it’s lightly sweet, not sticky. Interesting take on an amber. Doubt this should be in the mead category. More like an amber category.

Bottle, Whole Foods Miami Beach
Deep gold colour. Sweet, honeyish taste with some woody notes. Complex honey profile. Heavy body. Slight alcoholic finish. The texture is a bit syrupy - halfway between a drinking mead and a sipping (Polish) mead. But the flavour and complexity are good times.

Bottle from BevMo. Served at the suggested room temperature. Pours with a clear yellow body with a few legs. Aroma is hot with alcohol and medicinal, with notes of sage and vanilla with a touch of white grape and vinegar brine. Taste is of olives, honey and light grassy notes. Slight effervescence and slightly syrupy.
