Windmill Cider Reviews

wheresthepath	3.3 Windmill Perry [Cask at Milton Keynes Beer Festival 2011] This was only 6.5%ABV, so don’t know if it’s a different version or just a batch that turned out differently? Pale gold. Taste more reminiscent a cider than a perry, albeit cider tinged with a hint of pear drops. Alcohol shows through quite strongly, giving a slight (but not overwhelming and unpleasant) hint of nail varnish remover. Sweet (but not sickly), with just a dry hint in the finish - it did remind me of sherry as others have said, but a pale, medium-dry sherry. Decent effort this. Tuesday, October 25, 2011
Fin	2.8 Windmill Perry Polycask at Merton Summer Beer Festival July 19th Strange one this the aroma is the first thing that i ntrigued me at first I thought rum but then when chatting to friend Bob we felt that it could have been aged in a sherry cask. It pours very light in colour light straw colour and the taste is in my opinion a little too strong and unbalanced what pear there is seems to be fighting a losing battle with the spoirit to assert itself. A lot of people liked this, I thought it was just about ok. Wednesday, July 30, 2008
duff	3.6 Windmill Perry Bottle. Tastes quite spirity and sweet, has some slight dessert wine characters. Some pruny fruit, with spirity pear flavours, with some warming alcohol. This was pretty good. Saturday, February 10, 2007
jonas	3.8 Windmill Perry LCRBM2. Musty, spongy aroma. Looks like white wine. Fermented pear flavor obviously, sherrylike notes, wooden finish. Oily mouthfeel. Saturday, February 3, 2007
maeib	2.5 Windmill Perry Bottled - LCRBM2 - A clear lime green coloured perry. The aroma is very alcoholic, seems like a pear licqueur or a spirit. The taste is also very heavy and strong. Very sweet, pear fruits. Too much alcohol for me, but then this bottle was over 12 months old, so it may actually have picked up strength from its original 9.5% over the time.

diabel	2.4 Windmill Perry Bottle at LCRBM 2, Kulminator, Antwerp, Belgium Clear, pale, yellow body. Looks like a watery wine. Aroma of liquor and pears. Watery, alcoholic, peary flavour. Moderately sweet. Tuesday, September 19, 2006
harrisoni	1.8 Windmill Perry LCRBM2. Thanks to maeib for this one. Clear pale gold, no head. Varnish aroma. Crude. Very alcoholic and I can’t get past that varnish flavour and aroma. Monday, September 18, 2006
jbrus	3.7 Windmill Perry Bottled, LCRBM. Aroma of apple, apple, more apple and some alcohol. Yellow color, clear body, no head or lace of course. Sweet, apple, hint of varnish, sticky and very warming. Thursday, September 14, 2006
bierkoning	2.9 Windmill Perry LCRBM2: Pear, a bit sugary and very alcoholic. Some oak in the aftertaste. Vinous. Not something I’d look for. Monday, September 11, 2006
skortila	2.7 Windmill Perry [2nd Low Countries RateBeer meeting] The aroma is winey/sherry-like with pear and alcohol. Indeed more a wine appearance and colour, no head. Woody sweet sherry taste with some pear fruitiness. Quite alcoholic. Not my thing. Sunday, September 10, 2006
JorisPPattyn	3.5 Windmill Perry Chardonnay wine colour. Pears/sage/pharmaceutical nose, acetone. Wine taste, lots of sweetness with indeed a perry (pear) dimension. A perry with a very vinous charcter. Light in body, VERY alcoholic. Nice, but not something I’d seek out. I prefer drier perries by far. Sunday, September 10, 2006
maeib	2.6 Windmill Millers Fancy Cider From the barrel Harbury BF. Before I saw the programme for this fest I didn’t realise there was a cider producer in the county where I live. So I had to have one of their ciders for my final "beer" at the fest which coincidentally would be my 1400th rating. A quite clear, lime cordial coloured cider with a rough apply aroma. The taste is a melange of the differetn apples but the rough unripeness of the crab apple dominates.Very dry and quite tasty but a bit rough!! Sunday, September 4, 2005
