Can from Hanley Farm Shop, near Chepstow. A dull pale gold brew with a light to middling fizz. The fresh and vibrant elderflower up front is lovely, but the honey behind is too sweet to go with it. With a drier mead this may have been really rather good; as it was I still enjoyed the elderflower but the underlying sweetness did feel like it was dissolving my teeth by the end. Nevertheless, the low ABV keeps it very drinkable. Overall quite ok.
gave a cheers!

Can from M&S, Brooklands. Slightly opaque Rosé pink. No head. Aroma is primarily sweet and honey dominated. A sour edge. Flavourwise there's a sharp but not intrusive Rhubarb streak over the easy going honey light-medium sweetness. Light. Thin. Fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Pleasent and easy drinking.
