On tap at Honey Moon, pours a crystal clear pale yellow. Aroma brings out candied raspberry fruits. Flavour is along the same lines, bringing out candied raspberry and alcohol. Not the most cohesive or complex mead. Decent.

Draught at the winery
Dark ruby color. It has a very nice and deep aroma of berry juice, more than just raspberries (blueberries and cherries). Semi-sweet flavor, with moderate acidity (unfortunately some acetone here too), and delicate nice berry juice flavor. The final is balanced between sweetness and acidity.
Some minor flaws, but pleasant.

Blood red. Still. Big woody, fruity nose. This is no mainstream melomel. Fat, tangy berry taste up front but this dries out in an instant...woody, seedy and very acidic. Full complex...put it in a barn and you’ve got lambic. Nice stuff.
