Lou18 (1353), West Paterson, New Jersey, USA Oct 11, 2007 Got this at Oaktree, Dan tried to stear me away, I guess, but this is like an alcoholic soda pop.
jstraw (551), Oak Park, Illinois, USA 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. NomDeBeer (179), Maryland, USA 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. jeffwilliams11 (305), hooterville, Michigan, USA Nov 26, 2008 tap at hopcat. i’m not a mead fan, but this was very drinkable...not overly sweet, the fruit was not medecinal at all. not bad... ajm (529), Los Angeles, California, USA 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. CoachJT (35), Columbia, South Carolina, USA 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.
