Kveldens siste - igjen en 0,35 flaske med voksforseglet kork, delt på RBHD-treff ombord på Fridtjofen, april-18: denne hadde vi rett etter The Rookery Mead, og har et hissigere snert takket være ingefæren. Alkohol både i aroma og varmende smak. Honningen balanserer, og helhetsinntrykket er en elegant og spennende drink.

0,35 flaske med voksforseglet kork, delt på RBHD-treff ombord på Fridtjofen, april-18: mmm, honning og alkoholer i skjønn forening, muligens etpar gule epler. Kanskje et hint av krydder? I så fall må det komme fra lyngen biene har beitet på. En smule endimensjonal, men like god for det. Lang duft, lang smak og lang ettersmak. Den sitter i sikringsboksen. Klar gylden uten skum, helt ukarbonert. Slank munnfølelse når man tenker på at omdreiningshastigheten er betydelig.
