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)

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)
