Bottle from Lindisfarne Meadery. Bronzey-amber in hue with a negligible white head. Dry and oaty with biscuits and a subtle fruitiness. So-so.

500ml bottle from the Green shop, berwick-upon-tweed. Pours clear amber with a thin off-white head. Aromas of metal and nuts. Taste is metallic, sweet, and squarely in the Northern Brown Booze market. Decent enough, in a nostalgic way.
