Schramm’s Red Agnes is more finely balanced and perceivably less sweet than her Scottish cousin, Black Agnes. Red currants provide deep floral aromatics, a fruitier initial impression, more focused acidity, and a stunning cardinal hue. Lighter and more quaffable than Black Agnes, this mead is dangerously drinkable with a delicately balanced acidity which allows the honey and fruit to sing in harmony together.

On tap at Schramm's, pours a clear dark red. Aroma reveals decadent currant notes and lots of elegant honey. Flavour is unbelievably decadent, with intense red currant, intensely sweet honey, and a little molasses. Only minor tartness from the currant. Decadent and rich. Exceptional.

Pour at Schramm's. Pours a clear ruby red. Lovely redcurrant driven nose with some light plum and berry aromas. Great body, smooth and decadent. Redcurrant driven with a light tannic note, but jammy fruit dominates.

Hapu, magus, marjane, punane sõstar. Lõpp on ka väga sõstrane. Väga hea.

Faint grape color smells like a light cranberry juice. Very faint, super thin easily rinkable. Very tart with a bright juicy effervescent finish.

Bottle from trade with Kevin, thanks a lot! Deep, bright red color. Loads of red currants, some raspberry/cranberry. Sweetness is well integrated with the berry forward taste. Super clean and balanced. Lovely stuff!
