Sample thanks to Danlo! Pours a clear pale golden yellow. Big BIG natural honey flavour here, tastes a lot like heather honey straight from the jar! Lovely aroma. Excellent defined flavour profile. Wonderful mead.

125ml from bottle at London Cider Company, Borough. Aroma has well... honey. Clear light gold. No head. Sweet with a slightly herby edge and a touch of booze. Medium bodied. Slick to oily. Flat carbonation. Long somewhat astringent finish. Enjoyable but not really getting Heather.

Bottle thanks to SarkyNorthener. Thanks Martin. Intense sweet and perfumed heather aroma. Some nougat and heather aroma. Heather is like an old woman’s bouquet. It’s ok in the mouth. I mean hugely sweet. Then the heather is quite strong too. Light yet sweet. Dry heather yet almost sickly sweet on the teeth. Odd but quite intriguing mead.

Bottle from Sarkynorthener cheers Martin; this is my first intentional mead rating the other was a style change, dusty light golden syrup pour, intense heather honey aroma on pour, taste is sweet with big heather honey tastes a bit like what pollen smells like, a bit cough syrup but a pleasant tasting experience.
