It’s Wednesday night and the conditions are perfect. Put on that old ugly, baggy T-shirt from work and enjoy the refreshingly tangy bouquet of hibiscus and lavender. But don’t forget to go to bed, you’ve got work in the morning.
Pairs well with tacos, creme brulee, duck confit

On tap at Humblebee. Pours clear ruby. Plenty of lavender with a light touch of honey on the nose. Flavour ia dominated by the lavender with a very light, artificial honey character. The floral character would be nice if the base mead was much better.

On tap at BC Cider Fest 2024, pours a clear pink, no head. Aroma is floral, with lavender upfront, soda water and some earthiness. Flavour has soda water, lagender, sugars, ugh. Just a total mess and useless.

Poured from the tap @ VCBW. Clear-ish pink with almost no white head. Hibiscus and lavender show through. More cooler than mead.

Can found at the New West farmer's market. Deep pink body and good pink foam, looks very artificial though. Hibiscus and lavender on the nose for sure, but there's an earthy mead that comes across like rotten armpits that ruins it. Taste is significantly better with a well balanced soft hibiscus and sweet lavender followed by some meady marzipan and lingering macadamia. Enjoyable if flawed.
