Description
Gosnells was founded by Tom Gosnell in 2014 after he was inspired to turn his hand to experimenting with mead during a trip to the USA. As an avid home brewer of cider and perry, Tom had brewing experience that he quickly applied to developing our signature style of light, crisp, sparkling mead. From those early days our team and brewery has grown, but our aim remains the same: to re-popularise mead and bring it back to the people.

Can from Seasons farm shop, Windlesham is it? Aroma had honey sweetness strained through herbal hops. Clear muted gold. Creamy foamy thin white head. Low key throughout - honey sweetness with a citrus streak. Underlying veg. Light bodied. Slick if thin. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long slightly astringent finish. Hmm. It's OK if uninspiring.

330ml can from their online shop. Clear pale yellow-gold, short-lived white head. Aroma of honey, herbal, hints of citrus. Taste is mainly sweet honey, slightly herbal, salty, mild citrus notes. Light bodied. Nice easy drinking sweet mead, a little better than their Hopped Mead

330ml can from their online shop. Clear pale yellow-gold, short-lived white head. Aroma of honey, floral, hints of citrus. Taste is much the same, mostly sweet honey and floral notes, with the slightest hints of citrus fruit, doesn't seem particularly hoppy. Light bodied. Nice easy drinking sweet mead, fails to deliver in the hops department though.

330ml can from Whole Foods, Kensington. Misty golden yellow appearance, thin white head. Sweet honey and floral citrus aroma. Gently sour character with a soft honey sweetness. A bit more sour would be good but decent overall.

330ml can from Whole Foods, Kensington. Misty golden yellow, thin white head. Pleasant citrussy nose alongside the honey. Gently carbonated. Some other citrus fruit coming into play with this one. Some mild Gooseberry and lime perhaps. Not bad.

330ml can from Whole Foods, Kensington. Pours with a purple tinge to a golden body. Loose bubbles atop. Strong perfumed hibiscus aroma, works well with the honey to taste. Crisp palate with tart red Berry notes. Ok.
