3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draught sample at C’est What Spring 2008 Festival of Small Breweries. Light, clear golden colour. Very sweet aroma - yup, there’s honey in there. Medium bodied, light carbonation. Flavour fits the name - tastes of honey and not much else, with a slightly warm finish. Very pleasant in a small sample, but I couldn’t drink a lot of it. Would be great poured over vanilla ice cream, though.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draught at C’est What. Pours a hazy dirty yellow with a spare diminishing white head. Aroma of honey and fruit. Flavour of sugary sweet honey, light fruit and alcohol in the finish. Average bodied. Not bad but a little goes a long way.
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Flat, pale gold with no head. Very sweet and apple juice-like, some grapey notes. Very flat and easily drinkable. Not my thing.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Draught. At C’est What. Murky light orange with a small white head. Mild aroma - honey/clover, with a little grassiness. The taste is pretty much straight-up Billy Bee cream honey, and plenty of it, slightly boozy with a little dry grass pungency. Sticky, sugary mouthfeel, with a long slightly gritty honey aftertaste. Ehh.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at C’est What - came a clear gold with no head at all (as befits a mead) and some delicate bubbles rising lazily to the surface. Aroma very sweet, quality honey with a slightly tart characteristic. Flavour very nice - sweet but not cloying, some faint Church-Key house notes (I’m guessing from the yeast), and an overall almost cider-like package. Nicely done. Something I would gladly try again.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
On tap at C’est What. Carbonated mead that is uneven in mouthfeel, as if you were pouring in honey, in water. Very sweet. Lacey. Neutral aroma.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
On tap at C’est What?
Appearance: Clear pale gold , rocky fizzy top.
Nose : Slight hint of sour honey with some of fruity side. Barley coated with honey?
Flavor/Palate : Sour grainy front followed by sweet fuller character , honey filled. Different but not exceptional.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
2008-05-23. Hazy pale pastel yellow body with a tiny white head. Sweet aroma, honey, light floral notes and fruit touches (7+) Flavour is likewise sweet but not super sweet, light fruit and something floral-esque but not really. Average palate. Interesting overall, and less sweet than it could be but I can see it getting to be a bit much in quantity. On tap at C’est What
