70cl bottle sample, thanks Rich.
Couleur pâle avec un léger rosé (effet framboise), huileux sur le verre.
Arôme est mielleux - organique, léger fruité de la framboise offrant ce bouquet arbuste et baies sauvages avec un rétro-nasal du miel qui adouci le tout.
Palais est boozy, les 17% sont clairement présents. Caractère doux mielleux organique avec une petite note de framboise dont un léger fini acidulé/terreux classique de la framboise qui reste plutôt faiblard. Cela a déjà le mérite d'utiliser du fruit entier. Le tout reste réchauffant en bouche, fini note un peu acétique/nail polish alcoolisé sans dénaturer le tout. L'effet collant aux lèvres retrouvé dans certains autres hydromels est ici en retrait.

Poured at the 2018 Leicester Beer Festival. Reddish gold, thin and flat. Aroma of raspberry and twigs with some honey on burnt toast. Sweet taste with black raspberry and a harsh alcoholic burn. Thin body. I've enjoyed many of the Rookery's meads but found this one a bit wanting.
