Lyme Bay Traditional Mead 75cl

Loved it! Delicious and very moreish!

I love this mead! it's my favourite ( closely followed by black cherry mead ) You know the taste of them rhubarb and custard sweets? that but with alcohol! It's sweet with a slight tang and a nice warmth too it.

Bought as gift which was very much appreciated

Great product!, shame it's significantly increased price in the last 5 years

Having never tried any kind of mead before... wow! Not a wine drinker so wasn't sure what to expect. First impressions are great, smells strong and at first the alcohol strength is there but quickly melts to a moreish, deep honey taste. This is very sweet but I love sweet so I love it. This is a premium mead and I will definitely be buying more. If you're thinking about buying this, do it!

Nice taste and good price

First off, this mead smells like honey and it tastes like honey (though you need a good gulp to get the full flavour, not a tiny timid sip). It's really good stuff.However, having such an authentic honey taste means there must be a lot of unfermented honey / sugar content remaining in the liquid after brewing (or being added back afterwards). This is fine, and gives it the great flavour it has, but it will dramatically increase the calorie content (likely over 1000kcal bottle). Plus the high sugar content may dampen down the alcohol / warming effect somewhat, and be otherwise unhealthy, if you drink it in large quantities.That said, this is a great mead.I definitely recommend this drink, but drinking it in small amounts is the way to go - as a dessert wine (as it's intended), or an occasional tipple, or just the one glass amongst other drinks. I really DON'T recommended drinking a whole bottle of this stuff (or even half) in one sitting!Still, 5 stars, it's a lovely drink, and it's worth the price in my opinion.

I discovered mead many years ago now,some are really acid tasting. This is the one sold by English Heritage, the best I know of. Smooth and warm flavour. I thoroughly recommend it .
