I tried a mead ages ago and remember it being delicious, clean tasting with definate notes of honey, a touch of sweetness but still fairly dry. It was fantastic.
I currently have a mead going that I'm pretty excited about. While I'm impatiently waiting I figured I would sample some of the local meaderies products. I found a meadery based a few hundred miles away that sounded good,and picked a bottle of traditional semi sweet. It's AWFUL. Like a watered down white wine. No honey smell or flavour, watery with no body.
How do you avoid producing a mead like this?
