If there is fruit in it, its part of your 5 a day.
@weringo takes the bonus point with his highly rated entry. It looks like a few of you went for that extra point this time. Or maybe thats coincidence.
Far too many sours in this round for my liking.

Next round: K - King - A beer with the word King in the name (10th July)

Bonus Points - 2pts for Highest Total Check-ins

Mine. Part 2 or 3 in the Custard Sessions from Turning Point and my favourite of the 3.
Almost 100g of raspberries were massacred for each can.

Another Vault City, they release 2 or 3 new beers every fortnight.

I thought this would win the highest rating but hey ho!

Repta · 4 Jul 2021 at 12:55

One of the best sours i have had!

Impressed with a 4.53 rated beer!

Mine was the same Belgian Cherry Beer I used for round B - that's 12 points this beer has earned me now

I can never quite bring myself to enter the same beer twice. I’ve come close a few times but then decide to buy something else

Mine this week - got this one in pre-injury.

Local brewery, very nice but not over-doing the raspberry.

Pretty 'meh' to be honest.
Despite promising a lot of fruit from the label, it was a pretty average hop forward craft beer with a very small hint of pomegranate.

My entry.

Welsh Aber Falls Orange Marmalade gin. This might appear later in the competition as well

It's very good. It's a gin that I'd consider is just barely a gin!

Mine was like a fruit smoothie, with pulp and everything. Can't complain as I like smoothies but at some stage you have to ask when a beer stops being a beer

Martynt74 · 5 Jul 2021 at 08:33

And mine, as mentioned in another thread it tasted like an alcoholic sour mango rubicon.

It was delicious, but as @weringo mentions above, you do wonder at what point it stops being beer!

I couldn't find a pen so my paper is still in German mode.

Haha, I don't know if you're lucky or if we're both lucky. This was on my radar, and I was going to go buy it on Saturday afternoon. However, it's on the other side of Glasgow and I ended up in the pub during the day so ran out of time to get over to the beershop that stock it so had to make do with what my local had available.

So this is the one I entered...

...and the one I didn't...

Both paired with Quantic - Apricot Morning which I feel is worthy of a bonus point

.

Fortunately the rhubard wouldn't have earned me the special bonus point, tho it does have 4.36 on Untapped which I thought was pretty high! Unfortunately I took them both to a mates for the England game and forgot, so they're still in his fridge. Bring on Wednesday!

@Bickaxe Any update on next week's special bonus?

I actually had a few options to choose from but decided as this has already won me some points why not try again.

At least the end result was in your favour - bloody good game it was too

If you think you should get bonus points for things that are not beer, you would be gifting points to Feek and that can't be allowed.

Will sort it now.

The Rhubarb Fool (its a fruit in my mind), would not have got you the friend bonus point, a mate had it last week and he really rated it.
