Amelia is our loganberry mead, and our newest addition to the Schramm family roster. In the early 1880’s Santa Cruz fruit breeder James Harvey Logan interbred Aughinbaugh blackberries with Red Antwerp raspberries, and the loganberry was born. Over a century later, in 2016, so was Amelia Schramm Naeger. Deep red in color, this melomel lets the bright tartness and natural acidity of the berries shine through, expertly balanced by Orange Blossom honey sweetness. Like this mead’s namesake, Amelia is expected to develop and mature for many years.

375 bottle. Pours a very dark purple color with no head. The aroma is quite strong with a decent berry flavor. The taste is intense blackberries, raspberries, honey and a splash of port wine. The palate is full and viscous. Finishes rather long and semi-sweet with a bit of astringency complementing the honey sweetness. Overall: Decent--That is to say very righteous stuff.

Bottle shared at CBJ - cheers to Dave! Pours deep purple-brown. Medium to big sweet flavour with rich tart cherry, dry and hearty honey, mellow booze, blackberry, a little lemony acidity. Full bodied, subtly oily. Sweet and tart finish, some lightly toasted honey, more jammy and tangy dark berries. Delicious and dangerously drinkable.

Aroma is semi sweet honey, earthy honey, blackberry. Blueberry, pop tart, pithy dry finish. Palate is medium sweet, sticky melow carbonation. Very good.

Dark red, with a bit of brown. The aroma has a bit of alcohol, with a lot of complex berry character. Has a deep fruit character, the sugars are rich but there's a nice acidity to round it out in the finish. Impressive balance, to bring that berry note to the table.
