Pale yellow color. Dry and lean, simple Mead, a bit boozy, but with some fruity esters. Not bad, but too hot.

Has a light gold colour and mellow apple character. Off-dry, nice complex honeyish note, touch of apple.

2013 vintage, bottle at Campbell's Gold, pours a clear blonde with no head. Nose brings out dry apples, with just a hint of fermented out honey. Flavour is along the same lines, with dry apples, fermented out honey and alcohol. Not especially complex but it works well.

Bottle - Nice honey notes with some grass and flowers. Very pale gold. Honey and a touch of bitterness with a dry finish. Apples add little flavor but add bitterness it seems.
