Bottle at Chriso’s Pre-GBBF Shindig, 2012, London. Super sweet, lots of sugar, herbs and spices. Sure, there’s obviously loads of honey present. Full bodied with soft carbonation. Warm finish, lots of honey, spices, mild alcohol, lingering sugars. Does what it says on the tin - and does it pretty well, I might add. (3.8)

Bottle at another ChrisO tasting - London. Pours clear, very pale yellow. Big floral honey aroma. Hugely sweet flavor with lots of honey, stinging booze, clover, florals. Full bodied with soft carbonation. Hot finish with more alcohol sting, lots of sugary honey. Very big and sweet and perhaps overly floral at certain points but all in all it’s a decent tipple. (3.7)
