Cool and unique - never had a dry hopped mead before. Abv hidden, hippiness a really nice twist, especially in the nose. Light honey and a citrusy bitterness throughout.

shared with thickfreakness at the Flying Saucer 8th anniversary party .. .Lots of odd aromas; light honey, english tea and nail polish dominate .. . pours a very clear yellow .. . very low bubbles .. funny enough, enjoyable, but you have to get over the smell .. .

Pours into my 25cl tulip glass with a fizzy, white colored, fairly quick disappearing head. The mead is a brilliantly clear, straw gold color. The aroma is quite interesting, not at all what I was expecting. There are some definite honey notes, a plastic like sort of acetone like note and perhaps a herbal maybe citrus like hop component. This last is quite hard to really discern though and overall the hop aroma is a bit disappointingly lacking.

Fizzy with sweet honey flavors up front, this finishes with a plastic and acetone like flavor that tends to linger on the tongue. There is something other than honey that flavors this beer, but it is quite hard to say that it came from hops; there is perhaps a hint of citrus character and a wisp of herbal notes, but I could almost convince myself that I am imagining it.

This is really quite disappointing overall. I was really looking forward to a hoppy mead, and this is not at all what I wanted or was hoping for. I can't believe I actually bought a bottle of this.
