Mead Reviews

The reviewing of Mead is a very subjective thing. Some people love certain things and other people don't. And peoples opinions of what a good mead is can be very very different. I know people who love it crisp and clear, while other people love it almost muddy and old fashioned.

Well, I have tried many different meads from commercial meaderies and here are my reviews. (I update and add to this over time)

Apis Mead

This is a polish mead made by a company called APIS. You can check out their website at: www.apis.pl. And it is one of the best meads I have ever tasted. Mead making has a very long tradition in Poland and it shows. And they actually have specialized vacations to poland where you can learn how to make mead. Pretty amazing and a once in a lifetime thing if you are serious about mead.

This is a bottle of raspberry mead and it cost me $60 dollars in a local wineshop. It is worth every penny but at that price it is proably best used for special occasions. (It has been aged 6 years)

APIS is actually an apiary company that raises bees and they have a wide variety of honey and wax oriented products but mead is definitely top on the list.

I do have a more extensive review of this mead with pictures, alcohol content and more right here: Polish Mead

 

HIDDEN LEGEND MEADERY

Six meads from Hidden Legend Winery

The picture here shows six of the flavors of mead that Hidden Legend makes. They have added a couple more to this list and they now have 8. Pure Honey, Dark Honey, Spice Honey, Maple Honey,
Elderberry, Chokecherry, Huckleberry, Peach.

This meadery has won a whole lot of awards for their series of meads.

These are a bold and daring series of meads, no weaklings in this bunch! There is a viking on the bottle and that is for good reason, they really bring out the flavor along with the taste of the honey. I have tried most of them but haven't het tried the Peach. I bet that is fantastic. Now, if you are an absolute beginner to mead and have never tasted it you might be surprised by this family of meads. They are full-bodied. You can check out their website and see if they can ship to your state. Hidden Legend Winery
