Both the aroma and flavor are all about honey and raspberries or blackberries; I can’t decide. Regardless, it’s made with blueberries so my nose and palate must be way off. Medium-bodied. Sweet, tangy and then dry. A joy to drink! Thanks go out to mcbackus for pulling this one from the back of the rack! DragonStout (1380), Pataskala, Ohio, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 20, 2007 Courtesy mcbackus. Clear purple color with no head. Sweet floral aroma of a general berry character instead of a defined blueberry aroma. Medium-bodied. The taste is also more raspberry or strawberry-like, and the finish was nice and dry. An interesting mead. mgumby10 (1858), Jupiter, Florida, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 15, 2007 Courtesy mcbackus. Thanks Matt! Pours a clear, glowing light pinkish red. It had a small little white head to it. I was surprised by that. The aroma was very fruity. Definitely got the blueberries and the honey in the nose. Quite pleasant. Wow, pretty good flavor! The blueberries and honey really balance each other out nicely, I loved the fruity flavor. Very smooth going down, and left me wanting more. This was an unexpected rare treat! beerbill (1976), Laurel, New York, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Nov 28, 2006 750 ml bottle. I forgot I had purchased this over the summer while visiting the Finger Lakes. Found it in the fridge in the garage while making room for the Thanksgiving food. Opened the bottle last night. Pours a clear purplish red with no head. Wonderful aroma of blueberries and honey. The blueberries and honey mesh well in the flavor as well. Not excessively sweet - I was worried it might be like pancake syrup. Smooth and delicious. I really enjoy good meads, and this one is right at the top. A real gem.
