Year of New Beer: Evil Genius IPA Style Mead, B. Nektar Meadery (MI)

Written By: Dion on 10/17/2013

My first foray into the world of meads. Hmmm...where to start. Very sweet on the nose, with an almost overpowering mixture of honeysuckle, pine, and...WTH? Gasoline? The hops that were promised cannot deliver in the flavor department due to the unbelievable white wine-like sweetness at play here. I realize that a honey based alcoholic beverage is going to be sweet, but this is just over my threshold.
