Bottle at Craig’s. Compared to some of the meads I’ve had there, this is very standard stuff! Sweet honey, light booze burn. Honey.

Shared bottle. Copper brown, clear and still. Rich aroma of honey and leather. Taste is fully sweet at first, then turns to a tannic sweet/sour. Syrupy mouthfeel. Aftertaste is a bit saccharin. Ok all in all, but a little bit is enough for me.

500ml bottle, can’t remember where from. Extremely sweet artificially fruity aroma from the off, with a taste that best resembles pear drops crossed with those sour apple laces you used to get in corner shops. Exceedingly sickly and actually made me a little queazy by the end of it.

Bottle from ASDA. Pale green with plenty of fizz. Sweet mess of pear pulp, cooking apples and artificial sweeteners. I could have done with a bottle of Bud Light to wash the aftertaste away. Sink pour.
