There should be a big sign on the side of the highway to warn people about mead. About how it tastes like sugar water prison liquor junk. I would pay tax dollars for that.
I've never bought mead so i don't know what it's supposed to taste like. I've had plenty of beer and the beer I've brewed is reasonably acceptable or better. Same with apple cider. I've had wine but I would never attempt to make it.
But when I tasted mead I made from a "ez" recipe I found on these forums, I could not imagine drinking another sip. It was strong and it tasted like.... if McDonald's made liquor, it would taste like this.... soulless, no character, junk. A cheeseburger has more character. In theory it sounds nice but it lacks complexity. I dumped that batch without a second thought and I have no regrets.
