Judges notes:
"Pale gold, gently hazy in the glass. The honey aroma is deep and rich, rendered more complex by a hint of wet gabardine. The palate initially surprised with its high abv and relative dryness, but the wealth of flavour is maintained with remarkable clarity, even a hint of honeycomb and hive. Full bodied and deeply warming, we feel this is an archetypal, abbey-style mead, made with care and precision."
"A delicate primrose yellow with a gentle cloudy hue. A beautiful honeyed nose with wafts of wild flower and the foraging environment of the bee. Hints of the hive and bee are mellow yet blend beautifully to deliver a really appealing character. Sweet, gentle, rounded, smooth aromas translate through to the palate delivering a delightful, fully flavoured, fragrant, floral, soft, yet rich, fruity mead. Hints of citrus balance the honeyed sweetness. There are suggestions of both sweet orange and zesty lemon. A truly lengthy and luxurious finish. Carefully and beautifully balanced, levels of sweetness and acidity are spot on. Complex and vibrant which a flavour that keeps delivering on flavour. An utter treasure."
