Fruit being involved would mean the there is fruit in the ingredients.
Tasting notes saying hints of stone fruit would not be enough in my mind. Its not like there isn't much out there, pretty much every sour uses fruit for a start.

Just sent an update for mine.

Aye, it’s pretty obvious it needs to have fruit in the name/ingredients.

My entry in, another £8 number. This competition is expensive!!

Yup. I wasn't confused about the criteria as such, just initially I bought a rhubarb sour, and then half way down the road I was like "wait... is that a vegetable?!". Turns out it is, but on Untappd it's classed as a fruit sour.

Anyway, I submitted a different one to be safe.

Haha, I could understand that mistake tbh.
I had a rhubarb sour from Fyne Alws last week, was very excited for it but it was crap

Yeah I could understand that actually too. I’d always assumed it was a fruit.

This, I would have allowed it. Tomato on the other hand will get you banned as tomato beer sounds wrong and I'm actively discouraging that sort of behaviour.

And seeing as its now too late to change your entry, I used chocolate/cocoa in the previous comp and that did not go down well with a lot of the others. I scored points but it was very risky. I'm not sure I'm that generous.

How to tell if its a fruit.
Does it go in a fruit salad? Yes? Then its a fruit.
Can you make a dessert from it? Yes? Then its a fruit.

I have got two choices for round M - play an extremely risky one for the additional points or play it safe with my back up?

Bickaxe · 5 Jul 2021 at 11:56

Go risky. Play your Jester.
Go big or go home.

Realised I was missing round P and I think I know what round U will be. I'm undecided on round M as I have a few collab beers to choose from.

And speaking of collaborations...

Got some sauce too. In collaboration with Tiny Rebel so looking forward to using that.

Thank you - I'll will do just that

However I am travelling on the 24th / 25th of this month on holiday and will have no internet access so I'll be unable to defend my risky entry or answer any questions . . . . .

I won't play my Jester though as I'm keeping that for a specific round later on

Those sauces look quite interesting too :cool:

Feek · 5 Jul 2021 at 14:30

Some dodgy rounds for me coming up, I feel I may score my usual zero points for a few weeks, simply because I don't have anything to submit that fulfils the criteria, not through submitting gin instead of beer :cry:

Bickaxe · 5 Jul 2021 at 15:20

I've now added the random bonus category for this week.
I'm away this coming weekend so will post the updates when I get home.

I feel you can still challenge for a top 3 finish @Feek if you start entering beer as I have no chance of guessing that many gins.

Russinating · 10 Jul 2021 at 23:32

Guys I'm afraid it's a nil point from me. Thought it was an incredibly difficult week; none of my local bottle shops had anything that matched, and I've been down in Cornwall since Wednesday and nothing here either. My backup was a Kingfisher or a Greene King IPA but after trekking to a few Co-ops in St Ives etc and checking for local pubs... nothing!

This was the closest I could get in St Ives...

Lysander · 11 Jul 2021 at 00:14

Totally forgot about mine this week. Ironic seeing as my local Tesco stocks King Goblin. But I've had my mind on other things the last couple of days.

I haven't opened my emails yet but I am expecting this to be entered.
I'll do results when I get home this afternoon.

Entry for round L submitted

Martynt74 · 16 Jul 2021 at 21:30

I don't know if it's because i've just had an 8% DIPA, but i'm just drinking my light beer entry and it's poor. Has a rose type flavour which i really dislike and makes it taste like perfume. In hindsight i should've left it till tomorrow or something but it was all that was cold! I'm not a big fan of Extra Pale Ales though. I much favour anything >6% and i begrudged spending what i did on this!

In other annoying news, the DIPA i had was King Slayer by Buxton from Tesco which would've got more points than my actual entry last week

Bickaxe · 18 Jul 2021 at 08:23

@Bickaxe does Mark have to be in the beer name, or can we include brewery? What about anywhere on the label?
