2.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
[Cask at GBBF 2004] A caramel colored beer with no head. The aroma is sweet with light notes of cherries. The flavor is slightly sweet with notes of metal and minerals. The end is dry and metallic.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
[Cask conditioned] Amber coloured. Notes of vinegar in the aroma. Not much cherries in it. Fruity and sweet with a hoppy finish.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Whilst this this sounded intriguing, it didn’t really come off for me. Murky brown colour. There was a whiff of sulphur in the aroma, but my main problem was that I couldn’t really discern any significant kriek character whatsoever. There was certainly no cherry flavour leaping out. Mildly sour, with a woody, dried up finish. Drinkable, but there’s not much to grab the attention. A brave experiment but, ultimately, not very convincing. Cask (gravity), GBBF 2004.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: SEP 2, 2004 Cask@GBBF04’. Not much fruit at all for a cherry beer. Quite dry and tart in the end, but to be honest there wasn’t much flavour, or much happening at all with this beer.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Cask conditioned - Gravity - GBBF 2004. Tucked away with the European beers on BSF and not in the programme. A brownish coloured beer with just a hint of red and with a sour aroma. there is very little fruit in the taste. In fact there was very little at all!
