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. Mitchell’s Wines Sheffield. Fridge clear out job. Mostly clear dark pink. Decent off white foam lasts well. Nose has Cherry B. Bakewell pudding. Cherry Tunes. Big hit of marzipan. Taste is pretty sweet with just a hint of fruity tartness. Little bit of almond or walnut bitterness in there, too. Very easy drinking. In fact it’s like a glass of pop. Foamy carbonation. Dries somewhat on the finish. Delivers the goods.

Over best before 07/2020, Lot 19010, 355ml bottle; Brewed with water, organic malted barley & wheat, organic cane sugar, organic cherry concentrate (4%), organic cherry extract, organic hops, yeast;

AROMA: as you except, quite a prominent candied cherry on the nose, cherry syrup, medium strong sweetness but not cloying, cane sugar, soft cherry tartness underneath, obvious marzipan, no malt & hop profile on the nose

TASTE: quite smooth carbonation, creamy feel, slick & syrupy mouthfeel, feels quite full for 5.1% abv beer, medium light to medium body; medium to medium full sweet onset, sweet cherry syrup, came sugar, subtle bread in the background, mild soap, hints of old hops, quite noticeable rust, copper coins & minerals in the aftertaste, hints of wax & mild tart cherry;

OVERALL: obviously, not in the best shape anymore but there is still a mild beery component underneath, not sickly sweet or too artificial.

Alright. Nice cherry candy smell. Taste is fruity, bit sweet but ok. For the first couple of sips anyway

355ml bottle from Cannon Hall Farm Shop - Cloudy ruby body, short lived white head. Nose has all the hallmarks of maraschino cherry, Cherry B, cherryade. Taste is almost kriek-like, but ends with the same jammy sweetness as the other three in this series. Best of the four mind you.
