Mini bottle from HOTM. Clear pale gold. Obvious elderflower to the fore, a touch of butterscotch in the background and a finish that tastes entirely of that honey and lemon flavoured cough mixture for dry and tickly coughs. It's quite pleasant but I'm not sure I'd have it again.

Sample courtesy of mR_fr0g, cheers Fergus! Clear pale yellow gold colour, some bubbles on top and aroma of honey, floral, elderflower, citric. Taste is sweet, honey, grape, sugar, citric, along with floral elderflower notes. Medium bodied, low carbonation, sweet finish with lingering bitters. Quite drinkable.

Panda at home, thanks to Fergus, 16/07/23 Clear light yellow with no head. Nose is melon, honey, sugars, floral notes. Taste comprises sugars, water melon, perfume, light herb, honey, just a trace of elderflower. Full bodied, oily feel, semi drying close with a spike of alcohol. Okay functional mead ... nothing to revisit for me ... would have liked more elderflower presence.

Bottle at home picked up from HOTM. A clear pale petrol coloured pour with a not head. Aroma is semi sweet, white sugar, floral notes, lychee, some alcohol, waxy notes. Flavour is composed of semisweet, clean clear honey, white sugars, mellow floral notes, elderflower, lychee, light spicy finish. Palate is semi swet, oily, almost no carbonation. Hides the alcohol pretty well, Not bad.
