On tap at brewery. Pours clear pale pink with white head. Aroma has stringent berries and minerals. Flavour has honey, light berries, minerals. It's fine, but nothing too special.

On tap at brewery. Pours clear yellow with white head. Not much aroma, maybe slight fruit. Flavour has honey and fruit. Very mediocre.

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.

Pale, fizzy, light bodied. Spicy with a little hibiscus and medium lavender.

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.

On tap. Pours a bright gold. Aromas of sweet floral honey. Flavors of watery woody honey.Very low ABV for a mead and quite noticeable.

On tap at BC Cider Fest 2023, pours a cloudy blonde with a small white head. Aroma is full of crisp cucumber skins, light mint, no honey. Flavour is medium sweet, with crisp cucumber skins, some mint, and a touch of honey. Hard to consider this a mead — it's a fizzy pop / hard seltzer and not a great one at that. I mean, it's crisp and bright. So it's fine I guess.

Poured from the tap @ VCBW. Cloudy blonde with small white head. Feint sasparilla, cooler quality. Unremarkable.

Poured from the tap @ VCBW. Clear-ish pink with almost no white head. Hibiscus and lavender show through. More cooler than mead.
