Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Golden colour, some short-lived bubbles on top and aroma of apple, funky. Taste is sweetish, apple, musty, fleshy, red apple, with skin and core, some funk and acidity. Medium bodied, low carbonation, drying finish. Quite drinkable.

Sample at the English Heritage shop at Tintagel Castle, badged with an English Heritage label. Deep mahogany appearance. Very sweet with rich honey and a pleasantly warming chilli presence. Decent.

Very sweet, slightly too cloying for my preference but it is certainly delicious if taken slowly. Glad I had some friends to help me with this one. I like my rhubarb drinks more tart than sweet. Would love to try a strawberry rhubarb mead, though.
