A light blonde bitter delicately infused with essence of Cherry to produce a Belgium style fruit flavoured beer. The aroma and taste surpass expectation whilst the bitter finish is dry, hoppy and refreshing.

Handpull cask at the King's Head, Leicester. Straw colour, clear with a tiny uneven layer of white head. Aroma of artificial cherry like sour candy, so not great but not actively awful. Taste isn't awful either but skirts closer to it with a bittersweet astringency. More artificial cherry and a touch of sulphur in the aftertaste. No from me.

Sampled @ GBBF Day 2. Clear bright golden color, virtually no head. Smell and taste a lot of (Dutch) "spekjes" and sugary candy. Don’t like it.

Cask, Gravity at the on site Festival Bar Shrewsbury Folk Festival, Sunday 23rd August 2014 Pours golden with a light bubbling scattering across thd top. The cherry flavouring tastes sonewhat artificial with more than a nod to a glace cherry. Too sweet and with a little bitterness but not great. A5 A4 T4 P3 Ov9 2.5

Tried at the CAMRA Lincoln beer festival 2014. Not a full rating as drunk as part of a whole day session. Since tried at the Nottingham Beer Festival 2014, felt the cherry was a bit fake.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 3/9/2013. Golden with a slight white head. Weird mix of a golden ale and black cherry essence. Not for me.

Gravity pour: half-pint at the 22nd Festival At The Edge during July 2013. I was working in the CAMRA tent and was duty bound to try each beer for research purposes. Golden brew with a thin white head. Sweet cherry nose and taste, almonds also noted in the flavours: turns semi-sour and acidic as it warms. I couldn’t take to it and neither could most of the festival goers: only sold one firkin (9 gallons). Let’s just say it has an acquired taste that I didn’t like.
