A yellow mead with a strong aroma of clove honey, woody notes, like wet wood, and aniseed. In mouth, a smooth sweet honey with nice aniseed notes, quite smooth, warming alcohol. Interesting mead. Bottle from LCBO vintage, about 1 year old. Tasted Feb. 5 2011.

From a bottle at the Vintage Estates. Sweet off aroma. Overly sweet on the palate. Not bad compared to other Lurgies I’ve tasted. Bready wine finish. What can be said, this stuff is wine.

Bottle, shared by Papsoe. As English Honey Mead. A clear, flat mead with a slightly golden color. Intensely sweet, honeyish nose with heather-notes and some alcohol. Sweet, honey-ish flavor with heather. Sweet and warming mouthfeel, and a lasting, sweet, heathery, warming finish. Medium to full body. A decent mead, but with too much heather for my taste. (090514)

Bottle, 12.5% as Lurgashall English Honey Mead. Good sweet honey aroma, hint of wax. Very pale yellow colour. The flavour is rather sweet, there is a little rubbery feel to it. Mellow finish, but with a little peppery alcohol.

Bottle from International House of Cheese, Ludgate Hill, London
Pale color. It has a very strong aroma of flowers, more than honey. Sweet, not syrupy, with flower flavor and some honey. I like sweet drinks, but this Mead is not impressive.

Listed as Lurgashall English Mead. I have also seen the Celtic Mead available. Pours with a clear golden hue and some small alcohol legs. Aroma is of alcohol, butterscotch and really sweet Sue Bee Honey. Taste is fruity with honey, alcohol, vanilla, almonds, and dried apricots. Very thin mouthfeel for a mead, but preserves a sense of drinkability similar to a fruity sweet white wine.
