Jan 15, 2008 Pours cherry-red with a very small, quickly-disappearing head. Berry-honey aroma with that touch of paper that must be a byproduct of honey fermentation. A tad medicinal. Flavor begins with a blast of berry which quickly settles down into nothingness. It comes back for the finish, alongside a more traditional mead flavor. Interesting, maybe, but not particularly good.

Dec 18, 2007 Sampled on draught at the Papago Brewing Company tavern in Phoenix, AZ. Pours a clear pink brew with a bubbly ring. Aroma of sweet wild raspberries, honey and a touch of pear. Taste is syrupy, very sweet, with a high alcohol raspberry taste. Finish is just as fruity and sweet as its flavor. Pretty decent fruit mead.

My introduction to Meade. Interesting. Flat looking with a red raspberry color. Sweet, syrupy nose. Flavor of honey and black raspberries. Very sticky. Extra long honey finish (I think I’m still tasting honey the following day!)

Oct 11, 2007 Got this at Oaktree, Dan tried to stear me away, I guess, but this is like an alcoholic soda pop.

Oct 9, 2007 Dark pink with quickly dissipating head, lots of carbonation. Aroma of cranberries, heavy phenolics Fairly sweet, dead flavor laden with more phenolics, berries and sharp clovery notes. Not what I was expecting, but then I know little about meads. Seems awfully harsh.

Oct 5, 2007 poured into a goblet. pours a clear pink with mild to no head, and no combination. light, very subtle, yet crisp fruity aroma. very liquid palate with a mild subtlety to it. rasberry is consistant thruought gut gets prominant in finish. alchohol is present but not overwhelming.

Sep 14, 2007 Draft at City Steam (Hartford) - Clear pink and still. Nose was basic with notes of honey and blackberry. Candied berry flavors fade into almost a ricey sake like tone. Light bodied with a faint hint of carbonation. Syrupy from start to finish. Decent, but nothing to go out of your way for. Might be good on pancakes though....hmmm.....

Sep 13, 2007 Draft at Dilly Deli. Poured clear reddish color with good legs that lasted. Moderate honey raspberry aroma. Medium body with soft carbonation. Medium fruity sweet balanced flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. Solid drinkable mead.
