I don't care for sweet meads at all. If that's all someone tries I can completely understand them thinking the stuff is terrible.
But if you get ahold of, or better yet make your own, dry mead you'll be amazed.
Trust me on this, a well made mead makes women's clothes fall off.

Any beverage that isn’t affected by being consumed out a horn leaves me wondering how good it could be.
To: Lurker
And yes I know it's technically not a mead because of the addition of fruit, it's a melomel. Cut me some slack. Darn. I was just getting ready to challenge you on that, too. You never cease to amaze me with your talents and range of interest.

Hmmm, and I am about to send a cow to the butcher.
Reminder to ask for the horns, and a good use to put them to.

I was just getting ready to challenge you on that, too. Well to get really, really geeky about it it's technically: Acerglyn - Mead made with maple syrup
But since it's made with fruit AND maple syrup I guess I get to coin the name. Therefore I dub it: ACERGLYNOMEL!
Whatever it is the stuff kicks. Did I mention that it makes women's clothes fall off?
Happy New Year to you my friend!

I’ve seen it happen. ;-) Me too. That's why there are always TWO bottles chilling, just in case the first one doesn't have the desired effect.
There was this one time Mrs. L and the neighbor lady were in the hot tub and they told me to open a 3rd bottle...... OOOOPS, wrong forum for that story.
Happy New Year!

Or maybe ACERGLYNOMELOMELLOW would be better. What do you think?

"Dear Penthouse,
True story. There I was just drinking my mead when all of a sudden..."
I kept talking about brewing some up and my Wife wanted to try some before she could get behind me having yet another "hobby". The only stuff the local liquor store had was a fairly dry, but sweet, California mead. I forget the brand, but I'll never forget the Mrs reaction after a few glasses.
Sulfites have turned us off several types of beer and wine, so brewing my own mead sounds like a good way to control what goes where...

Is that when your clothes fell off? Just asking...
To: Lurker
Thanks! I’ve been making beer since the 70’s off and on and have all the equipment. I can’t wait. :)
