Bottle shared by Kelly and Paul, thanks. Spicy earthy floral with very little honey flavor or aroma. Somewhat dry and vinous. Not bad.

On tap at HoneyMaker, pours a clear pale blonde. Aroma is loaded with lavender upfront, with very dry honey. Flavour is sweeter than the nose suggests, with lots of lavender and medium sweet honey. Love the lavender here. It's a thin body, but it all works well.

Sample at the tasting room. Clear yellow color with a minimal head and patches of legs. Aroma of lavender, honey and fruit. Full-bodied with a floral lavender character and notes of honey and citrus. The finish is fruity and floral with a lavender and honey aftertaste. Above average overall.

750 from Leighton. A straw yellow color. very faint though. The aroma is like a fresh honey comb, not cloying but you get a orange blossom honey right from the comb aroma with rose and flowers. Flavor is less, sweet and more floral. Light, a little chewy at the end with traces of honey that linger on.

Bottle at home in NH. Pours clear, fairly pale. The nose has floral honey, white bread, faint ginger, vanilla, alcohol. Medium to big sweet flavour with creamy honey, some buttered dough, vanilla, hints of toffee, faint lemon, abstract spicing. Medium to full bodied, lightly oily, not too thick. Warming finish, with some doughy wheat, some cereal, hay, understated honey, background floral tones. Enjoyable mead.
