21/8/2020. Impressive looking 750ml bottle from Northumbrian Gifts. Pours clear pale gold with no head. Aroma of rubber, flowers, honey, marzipan and medicine. Moderate sweetness and light bitterness with moderate tartness. Moderate body, slight oily and watery texture with minimal combination. Singed plastic and warming alcohol to finish, with lasting sweet tart combo. My least favourite of the five meads we had today.

Sample, thanks to danlo. Clear copper / amber. Boozy aroma, rich honey. Big dark honey character overall, moderately sweet, herbal hints.. ale influence is subtle. Good.
