Commercial Description:
This is our first mead released in July 2001. To-date we receive more requests and attention for Black Raspberry Nectar then for any other one of our meads! With the mouth feel and texture of beer and the light taste of a lower alcohol mead this beverage is the very definition of "refreshing".

Draft. Pours a reddish color with a pink head. The Aroam is pure sweet with lots of fruit. The taste is sweet. Almost like a syrup. If you like sweet fruity beers you will like this. If not look elsewhere.

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.

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.

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.

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.
