[Cask at Milton Keynes Beer Festival 2011] This was only 6.5%ABV, so don’t know if it’s a different version or just a batch that turned out differently? Pale gold. Taste more reminiscent a cider than a perry, albeit cider tinged with a hint of pear drops. Alcohol shows through quite strongly, giving a slight (but not overwhelming and unpleasant) hint of nail varnish remover. Sweet (but not sickly), with just a dry hint in the finish - it did remind me of sherry as others have said, but a pale, medium-dry sherry. Decent effort this.

Polycask at Merton Summer Beer Festival July 19th Strange one this the aroma is the first thing that i ntrigued me at first I thought rum but then when chatting to friend Bob we felt that it could have been aged in a sherry cask. It pours very light in colour light straw colour and the taste is in my opinion a little too strong and unbalanced what pear there is seems to be fighting a losing battle with the spoirit to assert itself. A lot of people liked this, I thought it was just about ok.

LCRBM2. Musty, spongy aroma. Looks like white wine. Fermented pear flavor obviously, sherrylike notes, wooden finish. Oily mouthfeel.

LCRBM2. Thanks to maeib for this one. Clear pale gold, no head. Varnish aroma. Crude. Very alcoholic and I can’t get past that varnish flavour and aroma.

LCRBM2: Pear, a bit sugary and very alcoholic. Some oak in the aftertaste. Vinous. Not something I’d look for.

Chardonnay wine colour. Pears/sage/pharmaceutical nose, acetone. Wine taste, lots of sweetness with indeed a perry (pear) dimension. A perry with a very vinous charcter. Light in body, VERY alcoholic. Nice, but not something I’d seek out. I prefer drier perries by far.
