I want it put on record that that photo is a stock image, procured by bachus for the purposes of humour.

It is not, a current or former member of the South Dublin Brewers.

Ammendment to 2015 BJCP guidelines

Cat: 420

420B. Sativas Maximus Necteris

Appearance: A bit hazy.

Aroma: The skunkiness of the honey aroma will vary based upon the sweetness and strength of the weed.

Flavour: Stronger, sweeter weeds will have a stronger honey flavor than drier, weaker versions. Different varieties of honey have different intensities and characters.

Mouthfeel:  Well-made examples will often have an elegant wine-like character. The body can vary widely, although most are in the medium-light to medium-full range. Body generally increases with stronger and/or sweeter meads, and can sometimes be quite full and heavy. Dry finish on the back of the tongue may be followed by 'a bad case of the munchies'.

Overall Impression: A wide range of results are possible, but well-made examples will have an enjoyable balance of honey flavors, sweetness, & well-being, mellowness, reduced agression and lack of ability to do anything constructive afterwards. It will be greatly influenced by the quality of the weed mead.

Just thought of a great name for a commercial meadery: "Deadly Buzz". (C)

Jokes aside, I do find something a bit trippy about the old mead. It's great stuff.

Me and bachus call that a session mead, technical term is a hydromel..
