Handcrafted at the tiny All Saints Brewery set in a time warp in Stamford using the old manually operated brewing equipment. Finest organically grown barley and wheat are used to create a complex ale which, having undergone primary and secondary fermentation with different yeasts and extended maturation, is taken to Samuel Smith’s small, independent British brewery at Tadcaster. There it is blended with pure organic cherry, strawberry, raspberry or apricot fruit juices and more organic beer to create fruit beers of considerable strength and flavour. The smooth distinctive character of the matured beer serves as the perfect counterpoint to the pure organic fruit juice.

Bottle at The Three Goats Heads, Oxford, 06-09-08 Loz says that this smells to her of Maraschino cherries and I’m inclined to agree. Pours the colour of diluted blood. Syrupy cherry taste, soft fizziness, head is very faded light pink tiniest of bubbles.

bottle from a Farm Shop in Sidford. Clear very red colour, large rosé head with an aroma of cherry (or cherry bubblegum). Full-bodied, sweet and fruity with good cherry flavours, that do not seem artificial. A very nice fruit beer, although a wee bit too sweet perhaps.

35.5 cL bottle. Pours slight cloudy deep red with a lacing pink head. Aroma is dry and sulphorish cherry in a very dense/intense way. Almost almond aroma and flavour. Intense and almost sulphorish cherry flavoured. Ends dry and artificial to sticky.

Bottle, Empire Wines. Pours a vivid (cherry!) red. Aroma is gorgeous, sweet and packed with lots of ripe cherry. Very smooth mouthfeel, the alcohol is incredibly well masked, and this is almost soft drinkesque and not really very beer like. My wife tried a sip and loved it, and I can see why this might appeal to the ladies....Overall, an excellent fruit beer and a match for any of the belgian fruit beers I’ve thus tried.

35,5cl bottle @ VinenseVerden,Odense. Pours red with a creamy pink head. Mostly sweet cherries - a bit sticky. A very light sour twist that makes it refreshing. Oily/sticky. Very much like the melbourn series.
