Grilled Pineapple Mead

Panda from Colin. Cheers ears. Clear light gold. Lively frothy white head burns itself out. Aroma is sweet with a sour edge. Yeah... honey... and, I guess, pineapple. Slightly smokey periphery. Flavourwise it's sweet with a light sourness and a hint of a bitter edge. Light. Thin to slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. It's not too bad.

Panda courtesy of Theydon_Bois, cheers Colin! Clear pale golden colour, short-lived white foam head and aroma of phenol, rubber, smoked meat, iodine, citric hint. Taste is sweetish, pineapple, smoke, rubbery, some honey, floral, citrus, with lingering meaty & iodine notes. Light to medium bodied, fine carbonation, lingering sweet light honey & smoke at the finish. Not what I was expecting, but quite drinkable.

As with the other mead I've just had ... delivers on the flavour profile very well ... wouldn't want too much mind!
