Cheriton Pots Ale

Gravity cask at Maidstone BF. Used to have this a lot at The Mogul in Dover but haven’t had it in a bit and had almost forgotten how good this beer is. Terrific 3.8% session bitter. Dark gold really nice intense hop aroma, with some aramel and a bit of fruit to carry it through with some red berry fruit flavours and a crisp enjoyable hoppy dry finish. Excellent

Maidstone Beer Festival, 2005. This is a beautiful drinking beer. The flavours are clean, fresh, soft and very inviting. The delicacy is breath-taking, yet the flavours wrap around the tongue like a soft quilt. This is really what drinking beer is all about. A lovely day, a lovely setting and beautiful soft flavoursome drinking beers in the prime of condition. Perfick.

Apr 06 Gravity Cask @ The Flower Pot Inn. One last visit to the Flower Pots whilst cheriton beers were still available and some had been pending a re-rate. An excellent session beer combining delicate flavours with lots of drinkability. 4.2
Oct 05 Cask conditioned @ Black Boy, Winchester. Perfumey floral hops and juicy malt. Quite simple but everything works together excellently. 3.8
Mar 04 Cask-conditioned at Flower Pot Inn. Flowery hop aroma with faint grassy and fruit notes. Hoppiness continues in the mouth with almost sweet full malty mouthfeel and suprisingly little bitterness. A good session bitter which could have done with a touch more bitterness for me. Must be sampled fresh. 3.6

Cask conditioned. Delicate, fresh, drinkable. Flavours fill the mouth. Stunning. ****

Cask conditioned at The Flower Pots Inn, Cheriton. Light brown to Golden beer with fluffy white head. Highly hoppy nose leading to a good balancing tasty malt. Hoppiness follows through to the aftertaste with a sweet peppery feel. Great session beer.
