The taste is kinda watery and lemony up front, very odd honestly, with a hint of ginger around the edges of the medium body. The finish however, is long and spicy immediately building on the initial taste into a warm, tingly ginger sensation all over the tongue with a hint of lemon juice. Overall, it smells amazing, and the finish is great, it&#8217;s just that initial &#8220;glass of iced lemonade that sat out too long and all the ice has melted&#8221; flavor that I can&#8217;t get over. I&#8217;ll just stick to ginger beer (can&#8217;t go wrong with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/beers\/crabbies-ginger-beer\/\">Crabbie&#8217;s<\/a> for an alcoholic version, or the classic Gosling&#8217;s for non alcoholic; both make great mixers).<\/p>\n<p>Final thoughts on the Groennfell\/Havoc meads: Interesting, don&#8217;t regret trying them and they weren&#8217;t very expensive anyway, but you recognize quickly that these are all just the same base mead with different flavorings added. If I ever do get more, it&#8217;d probably just be the Old Wayfarer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2625,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","embm_styles":[179],"embm_groups":[],"embm_menus":[],"class_list":["post-2623","embm_beer","type-embm_beer","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","embm_style-mead-metheglin"],"embm_profile":{"malts":"Raw Wildflower Honey","hops":"Ginger","additions":"Lemon Juice","yeast":"Ale","abv":6.9,"ibu":null},"embm_extras":{"availability":"","notes":"","beer_number":null},"embm_untappd":{"id":994343},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers\/2623","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/embm_beer"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2623"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers\/2623\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2627,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers\/2623\/revisions\/2627"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2625"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2623"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"embm_style","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_styles?post=2623"},{"taxonomy":"embm_group","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_groups?post=2623"},{"taxonomy":"embm_menu","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_menus?post=2623"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
