Bottle shared at the chriso and Ruth pre-Christmas/post-Pigs Ear holiday tasting of 2015 - London. Cheers! Pours mostly clear, pale yellow, with a slight white film. Dry and lightly watered-down honey in the aroma. Medium sweet flavor, with pleasantly moderate honey sugars, clover, light citrus tang. Light to medium bodied, and finely carbonated. Lightly warming to finish, with decent sugary honey, a bit of dryness, further hints of lemony tang. Nice and drinkable for a mead, although there’s not much complexity to it.
