Bottle pour at 1634, pours a clear blonde. Aroma is sweeter than their others, with a more syrupy sweet character and wildflower honey. Flavour is fairly sweet but not that syrupy, with wildflower notes and floral notes. Syrupy but not that thick or complex. Pleasant.

Bottle pour at 1634, pours a clear blonde. Aroma has a muddled melange of baking spices and fermented out honey. Flavour is fairly spicy, with more sweetness than their other meads, with plenty of spices, wildflower honey, and booze. Boozy, moderately sweet but still thin. Decent.

Bottle pour at 1634, pours a clear blonde. Aroma is mostly a function of chamomile, a touch of lavender, and a touch of floral honey. Flavour is light-to-medium sweet, with chamomile and lavender, floral honey, and earl grey tea. Not usually my thing but this works well.

Bottle sample at 1634, pours a clear golden blonde. Aroma is loaded with vanilla beans upfront, with a touch of peaches. Flavour is medium-heavy sweet, with a strange banana character, followed by sweet vanilla and a touch of peaches. Weird but works pretty well.
