375 mL cage-and-cork bottle from the LCBO, served slightly chilled.
Pours a muddy amber-brown colour; not all that unlike fresh-pressed cider, actually. A scant half-cm of froth is kicked up, but it dissipates almost as rapidly as it was conjured. A minuscule collar remains, but sans any sort of cap or lace. The aroma has a sort of apple pie/pastry bent to it, offering up a mixture of cinnamon raisin bread, red apple sweetness, and floral honey. Smells pretty nice, actually.
Very smooth. Baked red apple, caramel and honey sweetness comprise the bulk of the flavour profile, with cinnamon sugar also occupying a prominent constituent role. Mostly sweet, but with a nice, pleasantly mild tartness in the background. Again, fresh-pressed (non-alcoholic) cider from the county fair comes to mind. The 8.5% alcohol is nowhere to be seen, making this a dangerously drinkable brew. Relatively light in body; a touch watery, I'd say, with very low carbonation levels that subtly agitate the palate. A lip-smacking sort of beverage; sweet and a little sticky, but not at all cloying.
Final Grade: 3.76, a B+. I've lobbed my fair share of criticism at Trafalgar's beers over the past half-decade, but I've generally found their meads and braggots to be much more agreeable - and Norfolk County Baked Apple Mead may just be the best product I've purchased from this brewery to date. Fresh cider and apple pie enthusiasts will want to consider this a 'must-try', and as for myself, I will definitely be buying another bottle or two of this in the near future.
