Community Tasting Note

  December 6, 2008 - I haven't tasted many varieties of mead, but I'd be very surprised to find one I like more than this. It's a dry champagne style that has a lot of complexity and is very food-friendly. I enjoyed this bottle with a Northern Thai style roast chicken and spicy green papaya salad. The starthistle honey doesn't have a lot of distinctive flavors (like the eucalyptus honey version). Its subtle honey character comes through on the palate, along with some yeasty, french bread aromas in the nose. The alcohol content is lower than most wines (12%) which I find makes this exceptionally easy to drink. A bottle disappears between two people in no time at all!
