Beer Masters is a real ale tasting knockout competition under the flag of CAMRA Greater Manchester Region and hosted by CAMRA Oldham Beer Festival, Queen Elizabeth Hall, Oldham on Sat 31 March, 12.30 for a 1pm start. There'll be 3 knockout rounds where entrants will fill in in a beer tasting sheet to score on flavour, finish, body and aroma. Identify the temperature, clarity, head, carbonation, and mouth feel and beer style. Then come up with your own tasting note giving colour, flavour, aftertaste, and aroma and commenting on character and/or whether the beer is distinctive, including any negative flavours. Contestants need to book in advance, incentives in this prestige event is that each who enter will get a FREE half of beer in a clean glass, water biscuits will be provided to clean the palate, a CAMRA plaque to the winner and prizes.
