Cask at GBBF 2011. Pale golden with a small white headAroma of sweet cherries and vanilla. Malty and grassy flavour with cherries that feel a bit too sweet and artificial. Nice hoppy, dry finish

Cask at the Mug House, Bewdley. Pours light gold with a small head. Aroma is cherry and straw malt. Taste has light cherry and straw. Some citrus hop in the finish.

Cask at The Crosse Keys, JDW, London. Pours clear, shiny gold with a weak, foamy head. Definite cherry juice in the aroma. Light to medium sweet flavor with cherry essence (I had this phrase in my notes before reading the description, suckers!), doughy bread, light hay. Light in body with fine carbonation. Mild sweet finish with light bitterness, subtle cherry, lightly toasted bread. Actually, this is a very nice beer with understated cherry character. Doesn’t have any artificial character like so many fruit beers do. It’s subtle and quite drinkable. Very underrated.

Cask, Tried at the party following a christening. Golden, clear appearance. The cherry fruitiness is there but doesn’t take over. This is not my favourite style but I thought that this was a pleasant enough beer.

CAMRA, will you please stop bringing over US bollocks like this? First Widmers Oktocrap, and now this - I think I’d even rather drink Greede Kerching. Anyway, about this disaster: Vomitty cherry sweetness. Your kid just ate an entire jar of cherry jam, and then threw it all back up again. In the mouth it’s a cakey sweet cherry mess. Vanilla and cream too. It is a scary brew, I never want to encounter it again.

Cask @ GBBF, 2011. Pours clear yellow with a small off white head. Sweet and sticky cherries. Almond and butter. Really cloying and nasty.

Cask at GBBF 2011 - Tuesday. Clear yellow - white head. Cherry candy aroma, sweetness, wheaty notes, light hoppy, light malty, hay notes.

Cask at GBBF 2011. Pours a golden colour with a thin white head. The aroma is all cherries with a hint of light malt, the taste is dominated again by the cherries, that leads to a sweet finish. This is not a session beer.
