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 bought @ CBC 2016. Pours extremely deep bluish red leaving some beautiful sticky legs on the glass with a swirl. Smell is heavy fruity and floral with complex dark honey, blackberries, bilberries, caramel, bees wax, hay, chocolate, vanilla and hints of alcohol. Taste is slightly sweet, sour, heavy fruity and slightly floral. Mouthfeel is round, oily, heavy tart, tiny astringent, tiny boozy and near full bodied. Finish is slightly sweet, sour and heavy fruity with high quality honey, blackberries, blueberries, lemon juice, hay, lemon zest and hints of alcohol. Insane intense fruit character. Reminds me a lot of blackberry/blueberry white but definitely drier. Crazy easy to drink and crazy tasty. --- Beer aliased from original tick of Marion on 20 Aug 2016 at 13:40 - Score: 9.

750ml bottle. Pours a dark red colour with no head. Aroma of honey, berries, raspberry, woody. Taste is sweet & tart, berries, raspberry & blueberry, with honey, red-wine, wood and spice notes. Syrupy mouthfeel, full bodied, low carbonation, dry tangy woody finish. Nicely balanced, very drinkable mead.

Bottle shared by Jeff, thanks! Pours a very dark purple with no head whatsoever. Aroma is full of dark slightly tart berries with a dry honey note supporting. Flavor has a great tart dark berry note that is slightly sweet and supported by a dry honey note.

Dark purple color. Aroma has a little honey and lightly tart berry. Intense flavor. Sour raspberry and blackberry, but some sugar underneath that. Full flavored, and I find the palate to be thick. Excellent.

750mL swingtop bottle, pours a deep dark mahogany with no head. Nose is rich, with loads of the berries, along with syrupy honey. Flavour is complex and rich as hell, with rich berries, honey, alcohol and treacle. Wow. This is incredible rich and deep. Excellent.

Bottle during RBWG Booze Buse 20/02/15 thanks to whomever supplied this juan. Murky raspberry red with a moderate crimson head. Nose is honey, raspberry syrup, sweet tunes. Taste comprises sweet raspberry jam, blackcurrant, fruit syrup, light honey, Lockets. Full bodied, fine carbonation, light warming booze in the close. Decent enough mead affair.
