50cl bottle from Baltic Food, Oxford. Light to mid-gold and clear. Honey, grassy herbs, maybe a hint of citrus. Sweet honeyed taste but doesn’t run away with it. A sourness toward the finish, bitter herb. Silky smooth texture, thick, viscous. Not the best Lithuanian mead I’ve had but it’s pretty good.

0.2l bottle from Klaipéda airport, Lithuania. Pours deep and brilliant orange, transparent, with no foam. Aroma is of honey and herbal. Body is thick and sticky, with no carbonation. Taste is definitely sweet, not hiding the alcoholic tone. This is particularly evident in the final, which is even pungent. Maybe it's the herbaceous feeling coming back here.
