This is truly a labour of love and has taken years to perfect. Our answer to a sour beer, we blend together a soured mead with a sweeter mead to get the perfect juxtaposition of flavours, a bit like a lambic-style.
Our Sour has complex layers of flavour with a puckering sourness and honey notes. It is moreish and well balanced.

Can from LCB. Semi hazed pale gold with a wispy white covering. Aroma of sweet honey with some citric notes. Taste of honey, lemon, apple, modest lactic sourness. Smooth with slight syrup texture (well it is mead), moderate sparkle. Really nice balance to this, very tasty light mead.

330ml can from Lowcostbeer. It pours crystal clear gold with a small, fluffy white head. The aroma is zingy, sweet - sour, tangy, sour green chewits, gooseberry, white grape, honey cake and tangfastics. The taste is fairly crisp upfront, sweet, tangy, gooseberry, white grape, runny honey, touch of sherbet, tangfastics, poached pear, melon, white sugar, candy and soor plooms with a tangy finish. Average body and fine, prickly carbonation. Tbh I wanted it a lot more sour, but it's nice enough anyhow.

330ml can from Whole Foods, Kensington. Misty golden yellow appearance, thin white head. Sweet honey and floral citrus aroma. Gently sour character with a soft honey sweetness. A bit more sour would be good but decent overall.

330ml can. Hazy golden, white head. Aroma of honey and subtle apple and citrus. Taste is sweet, honey, slightly appley, citrus, very little in the way of sourness. Light, soft carbonation. Not sour but it is nice.

Can at home in Hackney - gift from my mom. Pours clear yellow, lightly effervescent, with a creamy, pure white head. Nice beverage, moderate sweetness, restrained honey, a touch of pleasant funk, honeysuckle. Light bodied with soft carbonation. Balanced finish, nice character, mildly refreshing.

Can at Craig's. This is bad. Like wet paint. Oxidized. Sour, aye, but in a bad way.
