At the discover mead event at beerlovers bar. Pours a very light yellow. Smell has booze, some cinnamon notes , very distant apple features. Taste is sweet , sharp, apples, bit 'chemical' in a way though' ends a tad dry. Ok.

Bottle at the discover mead event at Beerlovers Bar. Pours extremely light, almost watter. Not much scent. taste is rather dry. very, very mild honey funk. Not sweet. More of a dry, herby kinda drink.
