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.

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.

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.

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.
