Bottle from producer’s own stand at Maltby Street market, London. Pale gold with a light fizz. Apple up front gives an unexpected sharp hint, with honey in the background. It’s alright, but it’s not wow-ing me.

Keg @ Northern Monk Refrectory, Leeds. Very sweet tasting, somewhere between a cider and ale in this respect, and very good. Pale golden-blonde coloured.

330 ml bottle. Clear, pale straw yellow body without any head but lively carbonation. Aroma is mild honey and lemon. Flavor is sweet and a bit sour at the same time. Flowers, perfume and honey almost in the background. Medium to thin body with short aftertaste. A bit strange for a mead and not particular good really. Still no real off flavors.

On tap at Cider Tap, Euston. Hazy yellow colour, white foam head leaving lacing and green fruit aroma. Taste is kiwi fruit, floral, honey, sweetish sugary with a note of hay. Slightly syrupy mouthfeel, light to medium bodied, low carbonation, dry floral finish. Interesting, quite OK.

330ml bottle from Favourite Beers. Hazy pale yellow colour, tiny white head. Aroma of honey, floral, citrus. Taste is sweet, honey, kind of citrussy and fruity. Dry finish. Carbonation is soft-medium but I was surprised there was any at all, the low ABV was also surprising. An atypical mead, but drinkable stuff.

330 ml bottle, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 5.5%. Slightly hazy and very pale straw colour, pours lightly fizzy with a small and shortlived white head. Moderate aroma of honey. Sweet and sugary flavour, notes of honey and soda. Not my cup of tea.
