Bottle. Pour was light ruby with a nice lace. Had on ice. I got much more flavor from the warm sweet mead I had from White Winter. Light but fresh raspberry flavors. Decent but more like a mixed drink. Needs a much bigger honey background.

ABR 2008. Big aroma of raspberry. Nice sweetness, finishes with a little bite at the end.

Sampled at the White Winter Winery. Body that reminded me of a French Rose wine. Strong raspberry nose with a similarly strong raspberry taste. Wonderful smoothness without the bite typical of raspberry lambics.

During May ’07 brewpub tour, stopped at the winery in Iron River, WI. Pours a pale earthy red color with pink highlights in the glass. Aroma of sweet raspberries, a touch of honey, and a hint of mellon. Taste is mostly fresh picked raspberries, a little syrupy, with a sweet honey aftertaste. Finish is sweet and more berries. Bring on the dark chocolate with this mead! Most excellent.

Sample at the meadery, late July 2006, from a White Winter glass. Light pink, nearly transparent with faint but slow-dissolving legs.....sweet ripe nose with undercurrents of acid tartness, mostly fruity with little hint of honey/floral character....initially, perhaps only momentarily quite sweet and berry-full, quickly morphing towards a very sour, tart finish, almost mouthpuckering even....wow, this was a stunner, probably the tartest and most "hard" mead I’ve had. Doesn’t entirely work but it’s something to try.

I just bought a case of this. I found it very drinkable. Has a nice raspberry aroma and taste, but not overpoweringly so. Even with the raspberry sweetness, still manages to end with a dry finish.

Dark pink color Not quite ripe raspberry aroma with hints of dry honey. Berry flavors, not a real strong raspberry presence. Light on the palate. Lightly acidic and a touch of alcohol. A few sips of this while cooking with it best fit this one..

Autumn Brew Review: Pale Red Coloring. Raspberry Syrup More then Fresh Fruit Flavor. Very Light and Subdued..Easy to Drink. Little Sweet.
