Panda at home, thanks to Ed Danlo, 02/07/24. Clear light blonde with a thin white cap that clears to spotting. Nose is herb, straw, grains, light booze, honey, sugars. Taste comprises heather honey, sugars, booze, spice, watermelon, floral tones. Medium bodied with bite, oily feel, semi drying close with a rising alcoholic warmth. Decent enough Mead.

70cl bottle sample, thanks Rich.
Couleur pâle oscillant vers l'ambre, huileux au verre.
Arôme sur un bouquet mielleux avec de fins effluves de booze prenant en rétro-nasal. Note un peu de country-pie, fleur d'orangée, caramel.
Palais est doux mielleux avec un léger fini caramel et de suite un côté organique mielleux en retrait. Je note un léger fruité rappelant la pomme
Le corps est assez léger sans le côté un peu épais/huileux. Le côté booze des 17% est assez présent et en devient dominant avec un fini herbacé. Fini sur un léger résiduel sucré - caramel avec un retrait fleuri. Très léger en bouche mais avec un effet réchauffant des 17% qui revient en fin de bouche.

Sample thanks to Danlo: Poured a clear golden with a bubble head. Aroma is floral, honey, boozy. Taste is boozy, honey, super floral, some tartness near finish, but very alcohol.

24/2/2022. Bottle sample courtesy of danlo, cheers Ed! Tayside rating #10. Pours clear pale gold with no head. Aroma is floral, honey, waxy, boozy, vegetal, polish. Medium plus sweetness, moderate bitterness, slight tart edge. Medium body, oily sticky texture, low carbonation. Bittersweet, warming alcohol, and just ever so slightly harsh finish. Enjoyed it, but not as much as other meads I've had recently.

Sample thanks to danlo. Cheers mate. Clear pale yellow appearance. Aroma is definitely strong, lots of floral honey with some solvent hints, cat piss and perhaps a fleeting cheese glimpse. Taste is fairly light bodied, expected a much slicker, richer, sweeter palate but its surprisingly easy-drinking, though a strong warmth lingers at the back of the palate. Lovely delicate floral mead character. Very decent.

Miniature bottle bought at GBBF 2019. Boozy pungent aroma. Bitter with a sweet edge. Pale gold. No head. Unlike the aroma there's little bitterness in the taste. Sweet honey. Warming. Veg/roots. Medium bodied. Slick. Flat. Slightly astringent finish. Enjoyable sipper.

Shared 350 ml bottle at local tasting, as The Rookery Mead Medium, from Aberdeen Country Fair. ABV is 17%. Golden colour, no carbonation. Boozy aroma of heather honey and fusel alcohols. The flavour is sweet with heather honey as expected, but also some boozy notes.
