(Bottle) Pale golden colour with brief, bubbly head. Fruity, spicy nose with honey, apples, herbs (meadowsweet possibly) and biscuits. Fruity, slightly spicy taste with notes of apples, honey, herbs, mandarin and biscuits. Medium body, quite sweet (but not overly so). Tasty and well balanced. Easy drinking mead. Quite nice.

29/5/2019. Bottle from Clapton Craft. Pours clear pale gold with no head, just some bubbles during the pour. Aroma of honeycomb, sweet-meal biscuit, flowers and fruit. Quite heavy sweetness, minimal bitterness. Medium body, sticky texture, fine carbonation. Sweet, honey finish with a light tartness developing. Ok.

Bottle from Beerhive. Nose is fanta, honey, floral. Palate is strongly carbonated honey, citrus, orange juice, weird hoppy finish. Beer strength meads should not be a thing, while it is a tad refreshing it isn't delicious.
