Schramm’s Mead

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.

Appearance. Deep, brilliant ruby red to magenta; excellent clarity. Still, with no head or carbonation. Pronounced legs develop on the glass due to high sugar and alcohol content.

Aroma. Intense, high-profile raspberry aroma, evoking fresh-picked Michigan raspberries and preserves. Moderate floral honey notes. Clean fermentation character with no noticeable esters or phenols. Noticeable but smooth alcohol presence.

Taste. Bold, unmistakable raspberry flavor dominates the palate, ranging from sweet jam to tart fruit skin. High honey sweetness is expertly balanced by a firm, bright acidity from the fruit. No hop flavor or bitterness. Clean, lingering finish with a persistent berry aftertaste and subtle honey notes.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and viscous with a luxurious, tongue-coating texture. Carbonation is absent. Significant alcohol warmth is well-integrated and smooth. Minimal astringency from fruit seeds adds light structure.
