Panda at home, thanks to SHIG, 21/03/21. Mid amber with a reddish glint with a minimal off white cap that soon vanishes. Nose is alcohol - but not 15% worth, honeycomb, dried fruits, raisins, herb. Taste comprises oak, herb, dried fruits, subtle enough honey, light spice, dates, light sugars. Full bodied, fine carbonation, light drying close with a kick of spice and alcohol. Pleasant enough easy drinking Mead that weighs in below its stated ABV. I'm not a fan of super sweet so this one worked well for me compared to most runway sweet meads.
