Pre-Competition Tasting in "The Dark Horse, Blackrock" - Wednesday 2nd December

[Bubbles]

A reply from Gordon Strong:

But Polish meads are mentioned. So be sure to describe it as intentionally oxidized.

Fair enough on being more descriptive, but there is no reference to Polish mead in M4B. Maybe it's somewhere else in the guidelines..?

Just FYI..

I've just learned that the Mead Guidelines PDF does actually make mention of Polish mead, but the guidelines in the BJCP phone app do not. I'm not sure how long this has been in the PDF, or whether it's a recent addition, but it says:

M4B. Historical Mead
A Historical Mead is a historical or indigenous mead that
doesn't fit into another subcategory (e.g., Ethiopian tej, Polish
meads). The BJCP welcomes submissions of writeups of
historical or indigenous styles that fit into this category.
