One of my favorite meads is Redstone Black Raspberry Nectar. It is a melomel style of mead; it is mead made with fruit other than grapes or apples. It is made with with 5 parts Clover honey, 1 part Wildflower honey and black raspberry puree. It's light and slightly effervescent. I like it especially because it is not overly sweet. It's fairly heavy in the alcohol department, however, coming in at 8% ABV. I first had it a few years ago and I love it so much that I always keep a bottle or two in the house.
