Grapefruit Mead Tasting...


Aroma - Honey sweetness, flowers, grapefruit - 10/12    
Appearance - Clear, yellow-orange - 3/3    
Flavor - The fruit and the honey complement each other well, just a hint too bitter - 14/20
Mouthfeel - Effervescent, smooth, moderately full - 4/5
Overall - 8/10
Total - 39/50

Really has some potential. Could tweak the honey choice (leave out the darker one) to make it just a bit sweeter. The color is great, it's nice and dry, and I like the carbonation levels. Need to back off on the grapefruit just a bit to better balance this one out. Happy with a first try...
