February 11, 2012 - with JoeMcPhee, blankboy, jercraigs & mabel. Clear 750ml bottle c/o j&m. Very pale gold, no head, pretty much no legs either - uhmmm ... okay? - damned if I know what a good mead looks like. Smells of alcohol, honey and actual floral bitterness - not bad! Taste is ... mild; more like a light white wine with some honey and grassiness added. Light body, not very syrupy, weak carbonation, some tartness in the quick finish - ehhh.

UPDATED: MAR 1, 2012 2012-02-11. Pale yellow body, headless. 2+ Sweet aroma, very floral honey character. Flavour is similar, sweet, very floral honey character. 6+ Smooth average to light bodied palate, no carbonation. Decent, but the floral character is not to my taste. 2010 Vintage bottle purchased from PEI Liquor Store August 2011
