On tap at Humblebee. Pours clearish blonde. Smells and tastes like a sasparilla soda. This is pop, not remotely close to mead. If this is mead, bread is beer.

On tap at Humblebee. Pours clear ruby. Plenty of lavender with a light touch of honey on the nose. Flavour ia dominated by the lavender with a very light, artificial honey character. The floral character would be nice if the base mead was much better.

On tap at Humblebee. Pours clear pale blonde. Faint honey with a slightly herbal character. Thin, slightly rustic honey character, gentle green tea, sweet limes. It's fine for a session mead, but not particularly complex.

On tap at Train Wreck, pours a clear bright yellow with a small white head. Aroma has plenty of saffron, a bit of orange liqueur, and subdued honey. Flavour is very light, with lightly sweet, lifeless honey, saffron, and some orange zest. Not egregious but this just drinks like a flavoured honey alcopop.

355mL bottle, pours a hazy dirty blonde with no head. Aroma brings out lots of ginger, cleaning product and subtle honey. Flavour isn't terrible, but brings out ginger upfront, followed by cleaning product and light residual honey sweetness. Not disastrous, but the cleaning product notes don't help. Light-to-medium residual sweetness saves this a bit. Not too good.

Smells like rosemary and tastes like it with a touch of berry in the finish. Odd - unexpected. Base mead is light and simple, vaguely floral.

On tap at BC Cider Fest 2024, pours a clear pink, no head. Aroma is floral, with lavender upfront, soda water and some earthiness. Flavour has soda water, lagender, sugars, ugh. Just a total mess and useless.
