An homage to one of the most classic characters in mead history, Marion is named for Maid Marion, the legendary love interest of Robin Hood. Marion is one of our all time favorites at Superstition. It has won multiple awards over the years, including a Gold Medal at the Mazer Cup International in 2016. This craft beverage is an excellent expression of honey and berries, and pairs well with rich cheeses, charcuterie and dark chocolate.

Bottle share courtesy of Dak, thanks! It pours with a deep dark purple to rosy red body. The aroma offers up berry notes, some earthy berry and a bit of sweet red grapes where the stillness creates more of a muted aromatic experience compared to the sparkling one. The taste begins with rich sweet currant like berries that head into some nectar like berry notes. Toward midway some pleasing slick honey sweetness come to the surface to increase the yumminess amid some modest fruit skin tannin like tartness. This ends with a modest dryness that tempts you into another sip. I thought the sparkling version was a bit better as that added brightness increases the yumminess factor.
