Nov 16, 2003 (Draught @ Papago Brewery)
In my 45 plus year love affair with beer, this is the first mead I’ve had on tap, can’t say I’ve had that many meads in any form, but I really think I need to review my priorities.
Served in a “Crystal Wine Glass”, the color a blushing pink, the sweet aroma of berries dominates, the first taste, ambrosial, the body light to medium, the finish has a sparkling acidity, the aftertaste tart but not vinous, dry and quite a “hoot” to this old inhauster of malted and fermented grain

Sep 28, 2004 Oh, Hell No this is not the typical Mead, baby!
This boysenberry baby has some lightly tart sake undertones. The berry is not overly sweet.. nor is the honey for that matter.
Poured a glowing dark apricot colored body. The aroma and flavor bring entrancing notes of lemongrass, and strange wild berries. This nectar is dangerously drinkable.. I could easily down a few bottles of this stuff if it were not $11 for a ˝ liter!

Mar 15, 2006 Bottle (small sample) at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center 01/10/2005
Clear amber coloured with what I presume boysenberry aroma and flavour (first time I’ve tried this fruit and it tasted similar to raspberry to me). Crisp on the palate with a slightly warming finish.

May 14, 2009 Pale pink/red with thin and quickly dissipating white head. Berries in aroma, sugary flavor with a hint of flowers. Crisp and somewhat champagne-like in the aftertaste.

Feb 24, 2005 NIce presentation with the flip top and cobalt bottle. Pours nearly still, clear and pink. Honey aroma is strong and floral. It has some chardonney qualities also. Very prominent honey flavor. The boysenberry is barely detectable. Clean and sweet. Finishes fast. Elegant and less cloyingly sweet than others I’ve had. Quite tart for a mead.
