Aug 28, 2008 At Peterboro BF 2008. A golden mead with the sweetest of sweet honey aromas. Lockets is a good description of the boiled sweet (and sweet) notes I get. Obviously too sweet in the mouth with a gloopy texture and more honey.Quite warming to be fair but sweet as ****

Aug 24, 2008 From the tap at the Wine Bar at Peterborough BF ’08. Gold. Aroma of proprietory cough linctus with a pleasant honey sweetness. Sweet taste becomes a trifle cloying, with just a hint of citrus sourness. Not really my thing, but it came as a welcome change after a run of hoppy golden ales. Difficult to rate fairly.

Mar 1, 2006 London Gathering Nov 05: Medicinal, band-aid aroma. Sweet honey with a smooth finish. Simple but tasty.

Dec 4, 2005 Bottle at London gathering, November 2005. Purchased from Hop Pocket Wine Company. mead is a real problem for me. I’m sure I’d like them if I could find one that was a bit dryer. This one has an overwhelming honey aroma and a massively sweet and sticky mouthfeel. Just as well Ii had plenty of people to share the bottle with me as a couple of sips is plenty for me. They still left me with half a bottle to deal with. Quite handy as a base for a meat marinade.

Nov 16, 2005 Bottle. Shaving cream and super sweet honey flavours. Some caramelised honey and warming alcohol in the finish. Meads are not for me!!!!!!!
