Crickley Hill represents another foray into fruited, oak-aged mixed fermentation ales, this time with delicious strawberry. This beer was aged in oak for a year before being refermented on local Strawberries from Carey Organic in Worcester for 4 weeks. It’s tasting amazing – beaming strawberry aroma, gentle acidity and a soft finish.

Bottle picked up from Deya, tasted with the München Ratebeer Group Christmas Tasting Friday 2nd December 2022. Pours a little warm burnished bronze, actually gold with a white fast disappearing head. Zippy and fresh, a little bit of lasting tartness.

Bottle, I think courtesy of F&L, at the Garching Xmas tasting. Murky golden-orange body, white head. Strawberries are nice and soft here, lightly funky, vague vague plastic, phenolic, but it evens out. Interesting. Lean, dry, tart strawberry jam taste, vague cucumber, just lovely! Softly funky, minerally, well made, well balanced. Apart from a weird note in the aroma, excellent.

Bottle at Christmas tasting, clear gold with a lacing of thin head. Nose is sour with oak & tannins, you can just barely get a hint of strawberries. The flavor is fantastically smooth for a sour, oak complexity and a smooth transition to strawberry, then sour aftertaste. Very refreshing sparkly mouthfeel.

Bottle. Clear golden color with white head. Aroma is strawberries, mild funk, white wine, a dash phenolic. Taste is strawberries, leather, not too tart. Mineraly finish, oily mouthfeel, mild fizz. Very tasty one, good balance!
