Thanks to a great RB trader for sending me this bottle in a GoandpickitupBro! I have this version and the B.Nektar version so excited to try them both but obviously a side-by-side is just a waste of money. Anyway, this was very special to try. Everyone loved it including my friend who is semi-pro in his mead making operation. He was blown away by how good it was. The best part is that you can\u2019t taste the 14% abv at all\u2026there is zero booze.<\/p>\n

Super blood red. No head. Nose is huge. A ton of fruit. Like crap loads. Taste is incredible. Just a crap load of strawberry, cranberry, raspberry and cherry. Just stupid crazy good. Whoa This was batch 2 w\/ the schramm\u2019s label not b.nektar. This is an incredible mead!!! try this if you can.<\/div>\n
