Bottle. Can’t tell if this is beer or mead. As beer it’s not good. As mead it’s not good. Dark color, decent head. Aroma is a sweet aroma that’s suppose to be honey. Same for taste.

650ml bottle. Hazy golden pour, with a tiny, quickly disapearing white head. There is a strong aroma of floral honey, some jasmin, some bitter green tea and what seems to be grape juice. Next to no carbonation, mouth feel is watery. Finish is slightly sweet, with no bitterness. Light honey notes with more of that odd welchs grape juice. This is odd, not terrible, but i dont see it as a mead.

A fairly average mead. Somewhat too complicated an aroma, the bees were sniffing beer and mead fields. A good honey flavour without being too sweet, Would be good in a horn.

Bottle. Pours reddish clearish amber. Aroma is mead, honey, floral. Body is body, presently carbonated, and then something yuk happens. Burnt rubber, motor oil, medicine, garage smell. Ay! But I could smell this for quite a while.

Clear golden with little white head. Aroma is old cristallized honey, some resin, old tractor. Taste is very sour acid with a bit honey sweetness, also mealy and cloggy. Very strange and not good.

650ml bottle. Yellow gold colour with a white foam head that dissipates away. Aroma of honey, floral, melon, syrup. Taste is floral, honey, with some jasmine tea notes. Light bodied, slightly spritzy carbonation, dry finish. Quite drinkable.
