About
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.

On tap at Gosnell's Meadery Taproom (Bermondsey), pours a clear pale golden, no head. Aroma brings out plenty of honey nectar, some booze, and gentle wildflower notes. Flavour is intense, with lots of honey nectar, moderate booze, and some wildflower notes. Smooth and well-fermented. It's no Polish mead, but maybe on par with some of the nicer Czech/Slovak ones. Solid stuff.

330ml can from Lowcostbeer. It pours crystal clear gold with a small, fluffy white head. The aroma is zingy, sweet - sour, tangy, sour green chewits, gooseberry, white grape, honey cake and tangfastics. The taste is fairly crisp upfront, sweet, tangy, gooseberry, white grape, runny honey, touch of sherbet, tangfastics, poached pear, melon, white sugar, candy and soor plooms with a tangy finish. Average body and fine, prickly carbonation. Tbh I wanted it a lot more sour, but it's nice enough anyhow.
