Golden Age Meadery Ancient Lore Mead
Canadian Mead
Warm honey and rosemary lead an aromatic, savoury opening, joined by citrus peel and earthy herbs. The palate is rounded and gently sweet, with balsam needles bringing a crisp, pine-like freshness through the middle. A restrained coffee note adds depth without turning bitter. The finish is smooth, herbal and quietly lingering. Serve lightly chilled with aged cheese, roast squash, glazed pork or a not-too-sweet nut tart.
Golden Age Midnight Dream Mead 750 mL
Canadian Mead
Raspberry and blackberry lead a vivid berry aroma, framed by floral honey and a subtle herbal note. The palate is rounded and gently sweet, with tart red fruit and a light citrus edge bringing lift. The darker berry character adds depth without obscuring the clean honeyed core. A quiet touch of herb returns on the finish, which is smooth and persistent. Serve lightly chilled with duck, berry-glazed pork or dark chocolate.
Golden Age Hearth & Fire Mead 750 mL
Canadian Mead
Golden honey opens into a layered aroma of apple, orange peel and sweet baking spice. Cinnamon, clove and star anise shape the full palate, while a measured herbal bitterness keeps the sweetness from feeling heavy. Floral notes lift the middle and the texture remains rich and composed. The finish is long, warming and gently spicy. Serve lightly chilled or at cellar temperature with roasted pork, aged cheese or fruit crumble.
Golden Age Hearth & Fire Mead 200 mL

The texture is full but balanced, carrying spice through a long, gently warming finish. Serve in a small glass with apple pie, peach crumble, blue cheese or a savoury charcuterie plate.
Fallentimber 2020 Traditional Mead
Canadian Mead
Wildflower honey gives a fragrant, gently floral aroma with soft wax and meadow notes. The palate is medium-sweet but clean, carrying rounded honey flavour without becoming dense. A light freshness through the middle keeps the texture poised, while the simple, direct character lets the regional honey remain central. The finish is smooth, balanced and quietly persistent. Serve lightly chilled with roasted poultry, aged cheddar, apple tart or a restrained cheese course.
Meadow Vista Honey Wines Stinger Yuzu Honey Lemonade Sparkling Mead
Canadian Mead
Bright and lightly aromatic, with fresh yuzu bringing a precise citrus note over a subtle thread of honey. The palate is crisp, dry and gently sparkling, balancing lemony tang with just enough softness to stay rounded and refreshing. Serve well chilled at a barbecue, by the pool or with grilled prawns, fish tacos and citrus-dressed salads; it also works neatly over ice when a clean, uncomplicated summer pour is called for.
Meadow Vista Honey Wines Stinger Blueberry Juniper G&T Sparkling Mead
Canadian Mead
Fresh blueberry gives the aroma a gentle fruit lift before tart, piney juniper comes into focus. The palate is light, dry and lively, with fine bubbles, bright acidity and a subtle honeyed roundness keeping the sharper botanical notes in balance. Serve well chilled or over ice with fish tacos, cheesy pizza or macaroni and cheese; it is refreshing enough for a simple patio pour but distinctive enough for the table.
Meadow Vista Honey Wines Pictish Beast Braggot
Canadian Mead
A light, crisp meeting point between mead and beer, where honeyed softness is balanced by malt and a measured hop note. The palate stays clean and easy-drinking, with gentle grain, floral honey and restrained bitterness carrying into a refreshing finish. Serve cold with chicken wings, gourmet pizza or salty snacks; it also makes an approachable introduction to braggot for drinkers who usually reach for pale ale.
Humblebee It’s Business Time Hibiscus & Lavender Mead – Single
Canadian Mead
Tangy and floral, with vivid hibiscus bringing red-fruit brightness and lavender adding a soft, aromatic lift. The palate stays lively and refreshing, balancing its botanical perfume with a clean, dry finish. Serve thoroughly chilled with duck confit, fish tacos, goat cheese or crème brûlée; the combination of fresh acidity and gentle florals is equally comfortable beside savoury spice or restrained sweetness.
Humblebee Brannigan’s Law Mead – Single
Canadian Mead
Bright and distinctly herbal, combining the citrus-like tang of sumac with the fresh, savoury lift of cilantro.

Serve well chilled with grilled corn, fish tacos, herbed goat cheese or a punchy grain salad; the fresh acidity and green notes work especially well with citrus, herbs and mild heat.
