Schramm’s Raspberry is a masterclass in the Melomel style, showcasing the pure essence of Michigan raspberries. The sensory profile is defined by an intense, jammy berry character that leaps from the glass, supported by the delicate floral sweetness of high-quality honey. The high acidity of the fruit provides a structural counterpoint to the rich, viscous body, ensuring a balanced yet decadent experience. With a robust 14% ABV, the alcohol is seamlessly integrated, providing a gentle warmth that enhances the fruit's depth. It finishes with a clean, lingering tartness, reflecting a sophisticated harmony between fruit, honey, and fermentation.
