I have made meads with many kinds of honey, orange blossom honey in particular, and I can testify that it takes a VERY long time to come into its own. I made some orange mead with orange blossom honey and orange juice, and I too was treating it as I would beer or wine, and was disappointed in the results. I had a case of bottles in storage for two years and had forgotten about them. Found them and opened one. The difference was astounding. It was like a completely different beverage. I now let mead bulk age for at least two years before bottling it. I would also recommend filtering and stabilizing with sorbate because I've had some popped corks, and the mess in the storage room was awful! Beer bottles should be good in your case if the SG was below 10 when you bottled it. It will probably be fizzy, but try to wait a long time before you judge it.
