 MiP (6337), Flensburg, Germany
Sep 8, 2008 Plastic cask at GBBF08. Weak citric aroma. Hazy very pale yellow. The flavour is OK, slightly acidic, but not rough at all. Tastes like cider.

Feb 11, 2008 Barrel at GBBF 2007. A light yellow perry with no head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of pears. The flavor has strong notes of pears as well as light notes of wood, on a slightly acidic back ground, leading to a medium dry finish. The body is a bit watery - surprisingly considering the 6.4% ABV.

Nov 24, 2007 <i>A Mes rate: Barrel at The Pembury</i><br />A little eggy in the aroma. Straight forward sweetish perry elsewhere. Very run of the mill but far from offensive.
