From a polypin at the Tewkesbury Beer Fesitval, 4/2/2011. Pale green in colour with a slick of a head. Aroma of slightly syrupy pear fruit, cheddar cheese and oak. Easy drinking, with plenty of sweetish juice, before some woody skins and a dryish finish. Very drinkable.

Plastic cask at GBBF 08. Very pale clear gold. Bit of green to the colour. I’m sorry but that tastes like my dad’s homemade cider. Really quite poor. Some dryness, but just not a good perry.

Polycask at Merton Summer Beer Festival July 19th This is one of those drinks that has to live up to its famous name following the instant popularity, courtsey of Wallace and Grommit. We had a good chat with Kevin Minchew the owner/producer of this cidery and were shown around his wonderfully chaotic but very historic machinery, Kevin knew his stuff and this Perry shows that quite magnificently. I also couldn’t help but think that the strange aroma had more than a passing similarity to the cheese (or just chess in general) or was that just the name playing in my mind? I don’t think so it was a touch cheesy. Poured light gold and quite interesting for a Perry in that i didn’t get the big juicy overipe pears that I often get, this was a bit more complex quite dry at times but the sweetness was there it just that it was well reined in, a hint of rhubarb played across my tongue once or twice and all in all a most enjoyable Perry. BTW I note that Kevin informed us that this Perry is actually the excat same Perry as the Malvern Hills version he does, Kevin said that he is ofetn requested to change the name depending on what side of the Malverns he sells it. It must be a Herefordshire and Worcestershire thing.
