Cloudy yellow with no head. Skunky spirit aroma. Smooth, though thin. Sour pears and medicine. Interesting!

Cask@St Albans BF. Quite interesting farmy perry. The pears are there for sure and theres a slight medicinal spirity quality, quite acidic. Interesting.

I’ve seen ciders and perries from this small Herefordshire producer around the festivals from time to time but, otherwise, I could find precious little information. This perry could certainly be regarded as an acquired taste. It has a very volatile spirity aroma, almost reminiscent of acetone (nail varnish remover). The pear character comes through more in the flavour, but its dry, pretty uncompromising stuff. I like it. Many wouldn’t. From the barrel at St Albans Beer Festival 2004.

Gravity @ St Albans Beer Festival 2004, Saturday. Strong perry, rather flat with heavy pear & alcohol/spirity notes. Tastes like acetone/pear drops.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask conditioned - gravity dispense - St Albans Beer Festival. A very fruity pear aroma to this hazy green perry. Lots of skin in the aroma and lots of pear pulp in the taste. A long finish which hits the back of the throat.
