Feb 11, 2009 Very good! You can really taste the honey. I like this, but I think the Sunshine Nectar is better

Jan 7, 2009 Clear, light raspberry-purple with no head / Sweet, honeyed juice nose / Light body, firzzante, fruit, with decent finish / Simple fresh fruit wine flavors / Not very knowledgable about meads, but this beverage lack complexity - just a simple fruit wine.

Nov 30, 2008 Pours a beautiful, clear red color with lively carbonation. Dry, slightly bitter taste of sweet honey and tart raspberries. Although it is my least favorite mead from Redstone, it is still refreshingly light bodied, smooth and drinkable with well-hidden alcohol.

Oct 27, 2008 I remember when I first had this on tap at Pap. It was the same night I tasted Stone 10th (FUH-RESH) for the first time. That night ruled. This is a very light mouthfeel on tap - darker strawberries and very liquid raspberries in the aroma and flavor. Honey tastes purple. Not the world’s most complex beverage.

Oct 25, 2008 While I’m not a fan of fruity beers, I realize that mead falls into a different category. Bottle was a gift. Very sweet, fruity aroma, mostly honey and raspberry (no surprises there.) Ruby red in color, no head. No a sparkler, but a bare hint of effervescence. Sweet, well balanced honey raspberry taste. Alcohol is evident, but not overpowering. Not a huge mead fan, but this was a nice variant that I enjoyed.

Oct 23, 2008 On tap at Trappeze. Poured a light red, with no head. Aroma of raspberry, honey, alcohol. Taste is fruity, and lightly honey, with blackberries and booze being the main characters. Finish is booze. Mouth is pretty thin and carbonated.

Sep 20, 2008 Sample at City Steam: Aroma of raspberry, alcohol, and grains. Poured pink in color with no head. Clear. Not sparkling. Looks like white zinfandel. Flavor of raspberry, alcohol, and honey. Medium body. Viscous, oily texture. Soft carbonation. Sweet, raspberry and alcohol finish. Alcohol is warming.
