Bottle, 12.5% as Lurgashall English Honey Mead. Good sweet honey aroma, hint of wax. Very pale yellow colour. The flavour is rather sweet, there is a little rubbery feel to it. Mellow finish, but with a little peppery alcohol.

Can’t remember ever drinking a mead. Not sure what to expect, but didn’t really care for it.

375 ml bottle from Kappy’s in Revere, Ma. Pours a light goldish yellow. Aroma is strong, herbal, and kind of chemical-ish. Taste was surprisingly strong. Sweet but a bit dryer than Chaucer’s (which is the only common brand of mead around here). Goes fairly smooth with a strong herbal aftertaste. Not a mead I would recommend for a first impression, but certainly drinkable. Bottle is very attractive.

50 cL clear bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with no head. Herbal, light chemical towards glue aroma. Sweet, honey and herbal from back of the nose. Sticking sweet actually with a nice honey herbal note coming through. Mild spiced into the far finish.
