A spicy take on an ancient drink. Brewed with Alberta honey, spices, malt and hops.

"Well, this can't be good...
Poured out a light light gold clear pinkish colour. The aroma was of cinnamon, apples, poplar sap (thx Brad for pointing that out) and something from a swimming pool change room. I have 'bleeeeeehh' written down as my first word detailing the flavour. A very dry honey with wood and a slight cinnamon taste but it ends dull and is is overcarbonated. A bit syrupy (which is fine) and finishes dry with a wood / spice something for the aftertaste. Yes, it was money no wisely spent. But then again, I am just not fond of this style of mead."

"Bottle courtesy of CBA: Poured a medium yellow color mead with a fizzy bubbly head reminiscent of champagne appearance. Aroma is dominated by cinnamon and is somewhat interesting. Taste is also dominated by cinnamon which may be slightly over the tops and some sweet notes of honey. Definitely better then their previous attempt last summer but in the end they could have slack down on the cinnamon."

"This is a mead brewed by Alley Kat, if you are familiar with Alley Kat I’ve said enough for you to know how this review will go but for those of you lucky enough to be outside their distribution area I’ll guess I’ll give you the breakdown of this crap. Appearance is pale ginger ale and that is all. Aroma is apple, cinnamon, pine and I guess just maybe a touch of honey it’s not overly sweet and actually as a mild sour quality to it. Taste is apple pie slightly sour touch of honey and a bunch of poplar tree sap. Taste gets stronger and more sickening as the liquid warms. This was way better then there raspberry mead and actually didn't taste horrid but still nothing you want to subject yourself to drink or actually spend money on like I did but only because I lost a bet to a little blond midget I had to. Way to go Alley Kat you’ve struck out again. "
