$8.29 bottle from Wine Warehouse. Pours red. Aroma of cherry, honey. Flavor is honey, cherry, light soapiness, a little earth.
Bouteille 50cl, batch# 591 09 16.
Acajou foncé noire quasi le contrepartie des cerises, pas de col, qcq bulles percent la surface.
Arôme fruité et délicat mielleux, retrouve bien ce côté de cerise Balaton, rétro fleuri et finemetn houblonné.
Palais est sur une belle alternance entre douceur mielleuse et touche ’tart’ des cerises. La pétillance est moyenne avec un fini légèrement râpeux. L’ajout de houblons confère un fini citronnée, fleuri laissant et une petite touche mentholé voire de sureau. Fini garde ce caractère doux, cerise avec fine note citrique tart.
At a festival. I liked this. Dark red color. rich, heavy palate. lots of cherry in the aroma and the flavor. it is sweet, some honey flavor, and it is heavy and full on the palate. I really like the cherry flavor here.
Odświeżający landrynkowy aromat, wiśnie, maliny. Smak słodki, lekko wytrawny, wisniowy z lekką maliną. Fajne.

Tap at BeerTemple, 16th February 17. Pours a reddish colour. Aroma is sweet and sour. Taste is sour cherry, sweet honey, floral. Nice stuff
Draft at Beer Temple. Clear red with no head. Aroma of tart cherries, big floral honey and light spicy notes. Flavour is moderate to heavy sweet. Medium bodied with barely any carbonation.
Backlog, dzięki Mirek. Słodko-kwaśny, cierpki, lekko goryczkowy, mega pijalny i owocowy. Pyszny sesyjny miodek.
It pours deep red with a smaller head. The aroma has truckers from honey, light cherries and overall lushness. Or has a sick body with light carbonation. The taste has rich sick honey, dark berries, light spice and minor dates. Excellent.
Bottle from Mikkeller Webshop. Clear very deep red without head. Aroma is sweet, honey and lots of cherries. Flavor is quite sweet. Sweet finish. 221016
500ml bottle from Mikkeller webshop. Pours red in colour with a pink foam head and aroma of spice & sweet cherry. Taste is cherry, candy, honey, sweetish and dry tangy, with notes of floral hop and spice. Syrupy mouthfeel, medium bodied, low carbonation, dry lightly tannic finish. Interesting, very drinkable.
50cl bottle. Small beige head atop clear blood red body. Aroma is moderately sweet, cherry, light medicinal. Taste is moderately sweet, cherry cola, light honey, medicinal. Light-medium body, light stickiness.
500ml bottle. Poured like Robitusin, deep cherry red, thick syrupy. Aroma/flavor is cherry, hops add an odd green veggie aroma, sweet honey. Thicker body, lingering flavor.
A red mead with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes cherries, honey, and perfume. The flavor is very aromatic with notes of honey, cherries, and flowers, leading to a tart finish.
Love the mix of honey and cherries - and should have known B Nektar would do something weird (like dry hopping a cherry honey brew). Flavor and color is great, tart sweet and hoppy. The nose was a bit weak but opened up with some work.
500 ml bottle I really bought for wife. Light red in color. Cherry. Lots of cherry. Slight tart, but mostly cherry.
Sent to me by Strykzone. Thanks Dave. Poured kind of red. Pink tinges white. Nose is dark cherry and apple. Medium body. Cloying mouth feel. The flavor is somewhat sour fruit. Finishes with a lot of fruit.
On tap, poured into a stout snifter. The aroma is rich, sugary, dark cherries, baked apples, and a mellow grass undertone. The aroma is a clear, ruby red with a pink, soapy head that has mild retention and light lace. The taste is medium high sweet balanced by a light bitter and medium light sour (but not quite tart). The texture is oily with a light, fizzy carbonation and a medium body. The profile is like cherry soda 7-up with a finish of cherry pie filling and hints of light herbal grass. There’s a slight astringency and an aftertaste of light cherry pie filling that’s mildly cloying.
What came out of the bottle was a beautiful cranberry colored brew with nearly no head. Apple aroma of cherry and apple. Flavor of apple, cherry, and hop..
Bottle from trip to CLE. Looks like cranberry juice. Smells floral with a faint hint of point and lip stick. Tastes like tart cherry. Nice.
Aroma: honey, cherry, herbs,
Appearance: clear red, pink head
Taste: light sweetness, lightly bitter, lightly sour,
Palate: medium body, slick feel, soft carbonation, long finish,
Delicious
Draft. Clear bright red color with a small white head. Funky cherry honey aroma, interesting but a strange mix. The flavor is also a bit odd. Slightly sweet, fruity, funky. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Ok but weird.
500ml bottle - $8.99 at Hop City in Atlanta, Georgia.
Appearance: Pours out a clear, purple-red body with a very brief fizzly white head.
Smell: Bright, charming cherry nose, yielding a tart fruitiness over the subtle honey and minor hop hints.
Taste: Sweet, tart cherries, a splash of a light red wine, scant herbal, floral kick and bitterness with a touch of pomegranate.
Mouthfeel: Light-bodied, still.
Overall: Great albeit one-dimensional flavor, very refreshing and enjoyable.
500ml bottle. Pours a ruby red color with leaving a thin soapy rose collar. Aroma hops pop right out with sweet honey and mild tart cherries. Taste is sweet honey tart cherries and funky bitter hops trying to fight through. Palate is slick and coating. Very interesting smelling the hops, but tasting the cherries over rule in the taste. I really like this a lot!
Tap @ Mikkeller and Friends. Pours deep dark ruby red. Aromas of cherry soap, sweet honey, some light floral notes, light cherry tartness. Taste is slightly hoppy but mostly sour cherries, honey, soap. Soapiness is pretty offputting, sadly.
Bottle. No detailed notes - nicely tart, not overly sweet, dry finish. Worth a try if you don’t like super-sweet meads.
Bottle->stem. Ruby red with no head. A: cherry, honey, pepper. T: tart cherries, honey, mild hop presence. Decent.
Pours a clear magenta-red with a very short lived fizzy pink head. Smells of cherry, honey, and floral hops. Taste is sweet, moderately sour and mildly bitter - cherry followed by honey, light hoppy finish.
2nd best of the B Nektars I?ve had (to kill all the golfers). Hops are not as prevalent as I?d hoped, but it does cut the sweetness enough to make this more palatable than the really sweet leads (zombie killer, black fang, zombies take Manhattan)
Thin and slightly funky, has a nice berry tart flavor but not much on the pour it palate still, minor quibble to this meadery
