Light red color. Light fruit aroma, light vinegar and chemicals too. Quite sweet, but not syrupy, with a good degree of acidity, the mead flavor appears more here than in the dry ones from Campbell with a delicate fruity note.
Pleasant.

Light orange color. Nice aroma, berries (light), alcohol, light oxidization. Medium sweet liquor wild mild fruit presence and alcohol warmth. It reminds me of fruit flavored schnaps. The final is a bit drier and has mild astringency.

Light orange pinkish color. Light and delicate aroma of berries, light honey and soap. Semi-dry mouthfeel, first with a sharp acidity, pleasant, followed by evident honey flavor, ending a bit drier.

Pale color. Mild and delicate aroma: honey, flowers, with a hint of fruitiness. Semi-dry mead, with good balance, avoiding the bitterness sometimes associated to dry meads, low acidity, with floral accents.
Pleasant.

Dark ruby color. Delicate aroma of blueberries with light notes of honeywine and Rosé wine. Very dry mouthfeel, some alcohol perception, it’s more fruitwine than mead, it has a comparably low acidity, ending with mild astringency and oxidization, reminiscent of Sherry wines.

Beautiful color, red copper. Nice aroma of berries, but later showing some chemical compound, then mature fruits, lightly oxidized. The mouthfeel is very dry, more fruit wine character than mead, mild fruits, light oxidization again, correct acidity.
Think of a Rosé wine, but smoother.
