i was excited to open my first ever comp scoresheet, but then i saw the score. 28.5, brought it weak for the BN. but, i'm not sure the judges were accurate in their assessment, at least thats my excuse. entered a chokecherry dubbel into the fruit beer category. score sheets said oxidized/sherry, but that's the way the keg tasted from day one, the cherries are very tart wild cherry. i cracked one of the reserve bottles i was saving for my bos round to see if they were oxidized, i guess i can see where you could confuse the sour cherry flavor for a sherry type oxidation flavor. anyhow, i wont be bringing home any medals for the BN this year. next year i'm entering in a regular category. does anyone else have any excuses i can use?
