Aunt Jemima bottle-shared by jtclockwork-still-red/amber. A-sweet pom, some floral. T-sweet pom, some floral/earthy.

Bottle. Pours orange amber and relatively still. Honey sweetness, with berry like sweetness, and just a hint of acidic tartness. Medium sweetness overall. Very drinkable.

Bottle at James’ place for a tasting. Pours a clear tawny amber. Smells faintly of fruit, a touch of pomegranate, honey. Medium bodied, very smooth, honey and a bit of fruit. Easy drinking. Moves to a lovely fleeting sweetness on the finish. Picks up a touch of tartness that lingerings for a while. Nice.

Bottle courtesy of James at his November 2012. Pours an amber red body with no head or lacing. Aroma is musky cherries, berries, funk and fruit. Mouthfeel is dry with notes of cherry, light booze, very light plastic and berries.

Bottle. Pours cranberry red. Nose/taste of honey, pomegranate, vanilla and berry. Semi dry - mostly sweet with hint of fruit tartness. Medium body.

Bottle. Pours a clear glowing red cranberry color. Aroma is like a fruit lambic, some dusty stingy yeast quality, botanical. Flavor is tangy pomegranate, medium sweetness, some berry seeds, light acidity, light honey aftertaste. Medium bodied, not super sticky, quite drinkable. Clean, fruity, drinkable, delicious! Not cloying at all.

Bottle from West Lakeview. Pours a light red, noticeable viscosity from the bottle. Nose is distinctly honey and sauv blanc-esque. Also a nice acidity on the nose. Taste is more rich with a clean honey bittersweetness and tart pom flavors. Very clean and nice. Tasty stuff.

Sample from West Lakeview Liquors. Clear, dark ruby red. Alc and pomegranate are the strongest aromas with slight grape/winey, sweet and big honey. Flavour is a great sour pomegranate with slight alc, honey, pretty acidic and bitter. Medium bodied with sharpness. Mostly honey and very good tartness.

Nice looking pour, a clear purple-gold, slightly thicker than water. The aroma is sweet but balanced by the pomegranate tartness. The balance carries nicely into the flavor. A fruity & tasty mead, refreshing with a dry finish. Nice.

UPDATED: JAN 16, 2007 Great sparkiling purple/ruby pour with typical oily legs. The nose is honey, alcohol, and berries. The flavour is initially very sweet honey with a mixed berry tartness...and alcohol. The pomegranite is sweet/tart and quite refreshing, mimicing fresh berries...mainly of the black variety. This is another fine product by my favorite meadery.
