In ye olden days, many enjoyed watching a jousting tournament with mead, and now we can recreate those times with the Lyme Bay Winery's

Tournament Mead, flavoured with ginger! However, the closest modern day equivalent to jousting we could think of is demolition derby, so you just need to find one of those to watch too.

Bottle sampled at The Vanguard at 1000 Trades, pours a clear pale yellow. Aroma is very herbal, with lots of treacle and honey nectar in back. Flavour is similar, with intensely sweet honey, complemented by plenty of herbs and spices, which end up stealing the show. Solid stuff, but not a huge fan.

Glass at Reading BF 2016. To Simon Haddonsman who i shared a Bottle of Lyme Mead with 10 years ago here in a hotel room in Reading. Clear amber colour no head. Ginger on aroma along with sweet candied citrus fruits. It’s lovely though. Way too sweet but has a ginger sweet ginger edge. Some nougat lots of honey sweet sugar. Exactly what i expected and wanted. Unsubtle.
