I have found all commercial meads to be sickeningly sweet.  It seems to 
me that the commercial manufacturers all think that if it's made
from honey it must be sweet.

I make my own mead, and ferment it bone-dry.  It makes a nice white
wine-like drink, but very different since it is reminiscent of flowers,
and not grapes.
