25cl bottle from Bottle & Barrel. Clear pale red appearance, nice sparkle, Pleasant red berry character (wouldn't have described as tropical fruits personally) perhaps a vague mead edge on the finish but not too noticeable. Fresh, light summer evening quencher.

Box @ Bottle & Barrel after a 90 mile ride. Clear, extremely pale gold appearance. Delicate floral honey nose, gently sweet. Oily palate with beautifully presented floral honey notes. Really nicely presented, clean and drinkable.

200ml bottle from Shire Meadery. Clear very pale yellow colour, afew bubbles on top and aroma of light honey, herby. Taste is sweet, honey, sugary, with some floral & herbal notes. Watery mouthfeel, light bodied, low carbonation, mellow medium-sweet finish. Quite OK

Bottle from Anglesey Farmers' Market, Menai Bridge. Very pale gold with a moderate fizz. Light honey with floral hints and a hint of herbs in the finish. A bit of dryness, which I'm not sure I've encountered in a mead before. Quite refreshing. Rather pleasant actually.
