Bottle at Tree Rock, pours a clear pale golden, no head. Aroma brings out subdued figs and a touch of vinous character - the honey is rather subdued. Flavour is moderate-to-high in honey nectar sweetness upfront, with subdued figs. Interesting stuff.

Sampled at Vintage Estate this mead poured a dark tan-brown color. The aroma was vinegar and tea. The flavor was vinegar, honey, tea, mild vague herbs and an earthy presence. Very long vinegar finish. Moderately full bodied. Not good.

Bottle at home. I’ve had zymatore versions of this mead but needed to try original for comparison and the south Africa tick. Pours orange with lovely nose of honey and perfume. Tastes of honey but not too sweet, herbal, perfume, red fruit, apples, and boat loads of rooibos tea (which I love). Really drinkable and good mead.
