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.

Sampled from the tap at the meadary. Pours a clear deep ruby red with no head whatsoever. Aroma has dry and tart berry with a hint of dry honey underlying. Flavor has the same dry and bitter berry combination but more honey coming through.

Pours very dark red. Smell is intense, silky fruit. Like super intensified raspberry-sweetness, very complex and aged ( in a good way ) Taste is very full, sweet, boozy, extremely fruity. Raspberry in aspects, as well as notes of BlackBerry. no idea of how an actual Loganberry tastes like, but this def showcases a very nice flavor ! Perhaps a bit boozy though, but at 14 ABV that was to be expected.

TST/TWAT. Sampled from bottle at svartvit’s. Thanks kermis! Deep red and no head. Big sweet fruity at first, then tart, and then dry bitter, tannins and wood. Raspberry, blackberry, red apple, old strawberry, grape most. Lemonade syrup. Very dense but the pure honey is missing a bit in the aroma, very much to the background. Big sweet, tart and dry bitter. Full body, no carbonation. Dry silky and fiercely powerful in aroma. Crazy fruity and dry tannin woody finish. Tongue scraping the bottom of a barrel. --- Beer merged from original tick of Amelia on 09 Jan 2018 at 11:29 - Score: 9

Bottle shared at The Sweetest Tasting. Very dark clear ruby with no head. Lots of raspberry, black currant, blackberries, light spices, a bit of honey but mostly fruit. Some fudge and cream, light milky vanilla wood. Over medium sweet and light sour with a bitter hint in the finish. Over medium bodied, dry finish and no carbonation. Lovely.
