3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Thanks to Errl for sharing this bottle. Pours a pink color. I get a lot of raspberries and honey notes, which go fairly well together. Nothing too exciting, but not bad.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
(500ml bottle, courtesy of Errl) Pours a still clear rose body. Aroma of raspberries, honey, orange, herbs, and urine cake (reminded me of a truck stop bathroom as it warmed up to room temperature). Flavor of honey, raspberries, orange peel, and florals.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Clear light orange. Aroma is oversweet tangy raspberries, wax, and sugar. Flavor is pretty tart and cloying sweet, with some raspberry purée and some sort of dry-sweet honey. Not too shabby, but it’s got this weird waxy thing going on. And too cloying.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
500 ml bottle from the Utah State Store on 3300 S. Pours a bright pink color with a slick body, some legs. The aroma is sweet raspberries for sure, some sugary honey and melon. The flavor is decent; sweet berries, heavy sugary honey, warm in the finish, but fairly drinkable. OK.
1.8 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20
@Richmond/Williamsburg Gathering-500 ml bottle-pours no head and copper color. Aroma is bad fruit-tart apple. Taste is sugary fruit-tart apple/raspberry, medium malt. Taste is better than the aroma. Thanks Immy for the rating.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Richmond Summer Gathering. Scored during a wootoff, so it MUST be good, right? Nope.Clear reddish pinkish something. Flat as a board. Overdone raspberry nose, something plastic. Actually turned out to be fairly drinkable, but a pretty crappy mead overall.
2.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle shared by Immy at the 2008 Richmond Summer Gathering in Williamsburg. Thanks Tim! Clear pink-ish color. Pretty atrocious aroma of raspberry and plastic. Taste is a great improvement over the aroma with pleasant raspberry and honey notes. Full bodied.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
500ml bottle, Thanks to Immy I think at Richmond Summer Gathering @ Williamsburg. Pours clear reddish in color with no head at all. Aroma of raspberry and sweet. Taste like cough syrupy and light raspberry with dry finish.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
The aroma is tart and vinous with raspberries honey and yeast. The appearance is pink and still. The flavor is like the aroma with a high alcohol (it’s got legs). The palate is thin. Overall it’s not that good.
