Niwot shrub roses are prolific producers of fragrant blossoms. Early in June and just after sunrise, Medovina hand picks select rose petals, then steeps them carefully to express their delicate aromas. Honey is added to the rose water, and the magic begins. The bouquet and color of this mead unmistakably and delicately capture the essence of the wild rose.

[1] Review by aracauna from Adairsville, GA, USA who has tried this beer once. (7/13/2007 11:28:40 PM)
"Pours a clear gold, and is perfectly still. The honey comes in clear and first, and it’s effect is made all the more floral with the rose water. Underneath lingers something that could be oak or a lightly buttered biscuit (but this is very subtle). The flavor is really interesting. As long as the liquid is held in the mouth all you notice is that it’s fairly slick and a bit of alcohol. No sweetness is noticed at all until the instant of the swallow, when the flavor bursts with a pleasant sweetness, light burn of alcohol and more of that wood/biscuit. Delicate is quite the apt descriptor. Delicious."
