500mL bottle, pours a load of ginger with light honey. Flavour brings out ginger, with medium sweet honey. A little artificial, and not overly complexity. Okay.

500mL bottle, pours a hazy dirty yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out shitloads of lavender, with honey in back. Flavour brings out a good mix of lavender and honey - not too sweet or spicy. Well-balanced and not too extreme on any flavour. Nice.
