Schramm's Mead in Ferndale, Michigan, United States 🇺🇸

Our Cranberry mead takes the distinct tartness of the earthy, fragrant and penetrating cranberry and matches it with the sweet, yet balanced style for which Schramm’s Mead is known. The pronounced acidity of the fruit demands to be offset by substantial sweetness, and the vast number and throaty nature of the berry’s flavor compounds requires pairing with a complex, full-bodied honey. This mead would make a delicious contribution to any Thanksgiving dinner table – a tart, yet sweet, smooth and easy drinking melomel that will leave you reaching for seconds.

Slight haze with a reddish-purple. This is super sugary, with a touch of cranberry. This one is super sugary, wow. Not so much balance. A bit of floral character to this as well - the honey showing through.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Max's place. Clear orange-red. Berries, honey, sweet and slightly sourish, rounded. Great.

Taster showing cranberry red.
The nose shows intense ripe and juicy cranberry.
The palate is light bodied. Cranberry forward with a light tartness and more cranberry for a finish that seems to go on forever.

Slightly brownish orange, looks light yet fairly viscous. Smell is tart cranberry, bit of honey. Taste has some tart cranberry first, followed by sweet honey. Finishes with refreshing and light berry. Not as bright and jammy as fresh, but tasty nontheless

Flat, dark, reddish amber. Smells fruity, some honey, definitely cranberries, hint of tartness. Remarkebly thick for the ABV. Sweet at first, very honey, but then quickly going into intense cranberry, with a memory of tartness there. Amazing. Sticky on the lips, lingering in the mouth, such a shitton of cranberry in its sweetest form. Jammy. Amazing how they did it.

Surprised by the rating, mad delish, think cranberry juice but no heavy tartness just mild, all sweetness + syrupy cranberry jam. No overly dry finish either. The schramms base/honey is so delish + cranberry jam is great.
