28/12/2023. Bottle shared by danlo, cheers Ed! Pours clear deep amber with no head. Aroma is rich, honey, caramel, fruit, flowers, heather. Quite sweet with a mellow honeyed spice edge. Full bodied, sticky, no carbonation. Nice warming sipper.

Panda at home, thanks to Danlo - Cheers Ed, 02/01/23. Clear golden amber with some white spotting that veers edgewards. Nose is herbal, honey, sugars, floral, perfume, alcohol, fruit esters. Taste comprises sweet fruit syrup, caramel, honey, sugars, light red berry notes, herb. Full bodied, light oily feel, semi drying close with a balanced kiss of alcohol. Solid flavoursome mead.

Bottle at Hovelling Boat Ramsgate, Clear rich orange gold colour no head. Some honey on aroma. The flavour is terrific. Floral aroma. Sweetness in mouth yes. But the honey floral bitter bite is rather lovely. Properly honeyed sweetness but with a heat and bite on the finish. Flavour is lovely. Just the right chill on the bottle. Lovely.
