Rediculously overpriced nipbottle (i’m talking 5 euro for what I think is 5 cl, whilst a 75 isn’t even 10 euro). Pours clear blonde, as meads genuinly do. Smell is funky, very natural honey. mild booze, some fruity notes as well. Taste is very harsh, boozy, bit silky, some funk, honey. The booze really doesn’t fit in, and the belend is absolutely not smooth. Didn’t really like this mead. Aftertaste is better, as the harsh aspects fade and they leave a floral, sweet taste.

Bottle sample, courtesy of fiulijn, pours a clear golden blonde. Aroma brings out notes of pears and apples, light sweet, subdued honey, and some light vinegar. Flavour is along the same lines, with acidity from pear- and apple-like notes, light-medium sweetness and some honey nectar. Lightly acidity and vinegary finish, with a nice warming effect. Fairly thin body for something this high gravity. Lacking oomph, but it's acceptable.

Bouteille de 75cl achetée à l’escargotière de Warnant. Doré, col blanc léger. Arôme est évidemment centré sur la pomme avec ici un léger bouquet caramélisé très agréable. Note aussi ce côté savonneux mais en un bon sens. Palais de pomme, léger pétillant avec une touche de tanin et pelure en fin de bouche. Légèrement sec avec une petite pointe de sucre caramel en résiduel. Au final un cidre agréable assez sec et brut mais conservant pas mal de profil de la pomme.

Screwtop bottle from La Maison du Miel, rue du Midi, Brussels,
batch L11 301 RO 102
Measured Final Gravity: 1033
Pale blond color. Nice aroma, almost a Riesling, delicate fruity wine profile. Semi-sweet mouthfeel; not overly complex, but it has pleasant fruity honey notes, sugar syrup, very light almonds, moderate acidity supporting a mild lemony touch too.
Above expectations, quite nice.
