We love our unusual flavours and there's not much more unusual than quince! This knobbly golden oddity is both sweet and sour with a luscious zestiness to which, in the spirit of membrillo, we've added real citrus zest and vanilla - plus a dry hopping of citrussy hops - to produce something a little bit out of the ordinary and lovely; it's not like anything else you will have tasted!

Bottle. Beer Central, Sheffield. Soft haze on a pale gold. Pretty firm suds of clingy, white head. Looks good. Nose has quince. Lactose. Lemon pip sweets. Very ripe orange. Pink grapefruit. Taste is tart with light, sharp citrus bitterness. Lovely bit of fruity sweetness on the lips. Smooth on the palate. Bright and fine carbonation. Gets tart and refreshing. Tart bitterness to finish. Tasty gear.

Keg. Misty gold pour, medium white head. Strong quince coming through on the nose, continuing to taste, quite plump and fruity, a touch zesty even with gooseberry and citrus notes. Can't recall ever having a quince beer before. Decent.
