Made with European Blossom Honey jam-packed with a truckload of dried Hibiscus flowers.
This is our only pink mead! The hibiscus gives a tart jammy, fruit flavour before leading to a dry, almost cranberry-like finish

330ml can from Whole Foods, Kensington. Pours with a purple tinge to a golden body. Loose bubbles atop. Strong perfumed hibiscus aroma, works well with the honey to taste. Crisp palate with tart red Berry notes. Ok.

330ml can. Red colour, pink foam head and aroma of berries, honey, flowery, hibiscus. Taste is sweetish, honey, sugary with berry notes and alittle tartness. Syrupy mouthfeel, medium bodied, soft carbonation, lingering sweet honey & berry finish. Quite drinkable, abit sweet.

Bottle at BeerFest Asia, X Edition. Poured a hazy burgundy colour with a frothy pink head. The aroma is sweet honey, red berry fruity, sticky sugary malts. The flavour is moderate to strong sweet with a smooth, rich, fake sugar water, light mineral, light tart fruit, light floral palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. A little too light and watery for me. Not easily drinkable in any quantity.
