Sampled at the Tip Top Kitchen in Columbus. Still and a pink blush color out of the bottle. Light raspberry jelly nose. Flavors of honey and raspberry. This is very dry, with an odd bitterness that I didn’t expect. Natural raspberry flavors.

JaBier (3212) - Capital City, Ohio, USA - MAY 9, 2010
Sample at Brothers Drake. Clear orange in color. Honey aroma with some berry notes and grape character. Flavor is herbal and floral with a bitter finish. Not bad, but dry meads just aren’t my thing.

Dogbrick (4837) - Columbus, Ohio, USA - MAY 6, 2010
Sample at the Meadery. This Mead is a clear reddish-Topaz color with decent legs. Raspberry aroma that has some medicinal notes. Semi-dry body with flavors of tart raspberry offset a little by honey and floral notes. Raspberry aftertaste with a slight cough syrup character. Decent overall.

Pours light pink (almost the color of rose wine). Aroma of Raspberries, very dry with just a bit of sweetness from the berries. Finishes very light.

Rogueone (506) - I F&ckin’ hate those guys from, Ohio, USA - JUL 30, 2008
Admittedly not a mead connoisseur, from a layman’s perspective this reminded me a lot of a pleasant yet dry blush rose wine, with a tinge of sweetness from fresh raspberry. Definitely a drier mead, this would be a great accompaniment to light fare.
