Tasting at Matt's, synthetic cork
Very pale yellow. Nice aroma, flowers, wax. Soft and dry mouthfeel, so dry that chemicals appear too easily

Very pale. Fruity and plasticy maybe with a touch of alcohol. I get a touch of the apple, but I also mostly get this bland somewhat woody note. Not offensive, but definitely pretty far from good mead. Touch of clover honey and wood, but zero complexity and not interesting.

Bottle - Light sweetness. Pale yellow. Watery and bland with nothing going on.

750mL bottle, pours a clear blonde, no head. Nose is more like a white wine with subdued honey. Flavour is very dry, with dry white wine dominating upfront, with subtle honey notes. It's basically a dry white wine with subtle honey. Solid stuff.
