<b>Cask</b>. <i>At Volo Cask Days 2008</i>. this rating has eluded me for a long time - and now I get it on cask&#033; Poured a pale greenish, somewhat oily-looking, no head, a little clouding to it. Aroma of fresh clover and honey - pungently of clover. The taste is very light and delicate, just mild honey sweetness, very grassy and fresh. Incredibly soft and light mouthfeel, still on the tongue, a light quick finish - yummy and dangerously easy to drink.

TFOB 2006. Yellow body with a small white head. Muted sweet aroma is lightly floral, honey. Dry flavour with a sweet honey middle, light floral spicyness. Average palate. Nice mead, very drinkable with a nice balance too. Well done Church Key.

Enriched yellow colour with thin crown of little bubbles. Fizzy carbonation. Thin mouthfeel and astringent for a mead, even one brewed with hops. Half a cup is enough.

<i>Draught at Smokeless Joe.</i> Wow, 1300 ratings and this is my first mead, I’m not even sure how to rate a mead. Oh well, here goes: Pours a clear bubbly pale yellow with a small lasting white head. Sweet aroma of honey, grain and apple -- pretty nice. Flavour: hmmm, strange: starts mild, dry and sweet but really kicks in halfway with alcohol and bitterness and there’s not as much honey as the aroma suggests. Pretty light bodied. It’s alright but I can only handle a small amount of this, I can’t imagine someone drinking a full glass.
