Bottled. A light yellow perry with no head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of pears, and so is the flavor, leading to a dry end.

(Bottle 50 cl) Pours a clear, deep golden with no head whatsoever. Lovely almost perfumy aroma. Medium body, quite sweet with this extreme Gwathin astringency. Does it come from the peel? Not really acidic or bitter - just horribly astringent. 130507

CBF07 sample from bottle. Pours clear yellow. Aroma is sweet perry. Flavour is sweet, slight sour in the finish where it gets a bit dry. Nice.

From a polypin at Battersea Beer Festival 2006. I have to go with SilkTork on this one. Pale gold, no head. Red pear aroma, which is not huge but the flavour is terrific. Very good pear fruit which is fleshy and succulent. Not overly sweet. Some wood and then quite a dry finish. Yummy

Nice golden colour to it. Aroma of pears and fruits with some wood. Fresh sweet flavour of perry, fruits and wood. Dry finish. Darn good cider!

Bottle. Pours an extremely pale yellow - almost clear. Aroma is underwhelming, a little pears. Flavour though, is astonishing, powerful and dry. Pears, wood, flowers and spices. Great!

Comments: Dark for a perry, yet a superbly fresh one with a generous pear flesh nose, juicy and balanced whose peaks are reached in its flowery, fragrant nose and soft-edged palate despite heavy tannins.

Cask@Battersea Beer Festival. Had this a few years back at Kingston Beer Festival, and thought it to be horrible. Much better this time, nice acidic clingy mouthfell, juicy. Woody, with a touch of sweetness.
