Jan 6, 2004 Pours a clear bright ruby red color. Aroma similar to a Merlot, with some hints of raspberry and honey. Body is thick and sweet with a viscosity reminiscent of honey. Decent complexity throughout, leading to a dry, yet sweet finish. A nice mead, but does pack an alcoholic kick to it.

Oct 20, 2004 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..

Aug 12, 2006 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.

May 21, 2007 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.

Sep 12, 2004 Autumn Brew Review 2004. Light red color. Some raspberry flavor, but it seems to be more of a general fruit flavor than raspberry in particular. Medium-sweet. Not bad, not special.

Sep 12, 2004 Updated: Oct 16, 2005Aroma of raspberries. Red color. Flavor is sweet with fruit, but doesn’t really taste like raspberry. Some meads are so sweet I can barely drink them. This is easy to sip.

May 23, 2007 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.
