21/8/2020. Mini bottle courtesy of the SHIG. Pours clear very pale gold with no head. Aroma of honey, root spices, medicine and fruit. Moderate sweetness with light bitterness and tartness. Moderate body, slight sticky texture, flat carbonation. Dry, warming, with a touch of spice to finish. Quite okay.

Aus der Flasche im 2018-07 auf Holy Island getrunken. Deutlich süßer Honig mit weihnachtlichen Gewürzen und leichter Apfelnote. Im Abgang verschwindet die Süsse schnell und die Apfel und Gewürznoten bleiben recht lang erhalten. Mir ist die Süsse dann doch etwas zu heftig, aber die anderen Aromen machen das Teil recht spannend.

Bottle from the meadery. Clear copper-gold. Syrupy mouthfeel. Extremely sweet, the cinnamon and cloves are way too heavy giving a cough mixture impression. Cloying and unpleasant, a big disappointment after the black beer and honey version.

At the discover mead event at beerlovers bar. Pours a very light yellow. Smell has booze, some cinnamon notes , very distant apple features. Taste is sweet , sharp, apples, bit 'chemical' in a way though' ends a tad dry. Ok.
