Bottle courtesy of my ex-wife. Dark gold, clear. Gluey aroma with some honey and caramel. Lovely sweet and spicy taste. Weakish body but nice spicy sour finish. Better than I thought it would be.

Draught at Augustus John, Liverpool. Cloudy orange gold colour, no head and aroma of mellow apple. Taste is tangy apple, apple skin, hints of ginger & spice, along with drying tannins. Medium bodied, low carbonation, dry tannic finish. Quite OK.

Glass at Reading BF 2016. To Simon Haddonsman who i shared a Bottle of Lyme Mead with 10 years ago here in a hotel room in Reading. Clear amber colour no head. Ginger on aroma along with sweet candied citrus fruits. It’s lovely though. Way too sweet but has a ginger sweet ginger edge. Some nougat lots of honey sweet sugar. Exactly what i expected and wanted. Unsubtle.

Bag in box at the Castle Inn, West Lulworth. It pours clear rich gold in colour. The nose is eart, musty, manure, damp leaves, apple pie and toasted nuts. The taste is dry, musty, sweet apple, manure, some astringency, tannins, tangy, touch of acidity, some sharpness and lemon peel with a very dry, almost astringent finish. Medium bodied and flat. Too much manure for my liking.
