UPDATED: APR 13, 2019 BIAB at Hull Real Ale & Cider Fest 2019. Pale golden colour, no head and aroma of green pear, slight vinegar funk. Taste is sweet, rich fruity pear and lots of biscuity, cardboard, oxidised notes. Medium bodied, low carbonation, sweet oxidised finish.

Tap@Bootleggers, Copenhagen - yellow golden pour with white head. Light sweet and tart pear notes, light to medium body, some pear skin, pear infused finish.

Sehr süßer Antrunk. Apfel, etwas Honig. Süß aber vergleichsweise süffig bleibend, rund, zum Ende trocken. Vollmdunig, gelungen. 8/10/10/10/7/10

Many thanks to Erzengel for sharing! A clear deep golden perry. Aroma of sweet apples and pear. taste of sweet pear, apples, soft riped apples, sulfur, sugar.

Many thanks to Minutemat for this bottle. 7.0%. Fresh and astringent beginning. Not too sweetish, not too dry. Lots of tannins there, fruity with sweetish hints. Nice dry and astringent aftertaste, refreshing fruity with a nice dry perry aftertaste. Great and interesting with lots of depth.

thnx to Thomas ! Pours clear, small white head. Smell is full, rich, bit floral fruity. Taste is bit dry, full fruits. Mild sweetness. Touch to dry for myself.

Filled from a pin at Middle Farm, East Sussex (sorry, didn’t grab the ABV). Labeled as medium-sweet. Excellent perry that retains a good amount of pear flavor while also showing just a touch of tannins and earthiness. No sulfur flavor at all. Earthy, fruity, slightly sweet, and quite tasty.

Bottle from The Bristol Cider Shop. It pours clear rich gold with a tiny bubbly head. The nose is soft, sweet, fresh, ripe pear, marzipan, frangipane, custard and just a touch of earth. The taste is iniatially sweeter than expected... sweet ripe pear, fruit pie, earth, some tannins, light astringency, pear skin and frangipane with a pretty dry and tannic finish. Medium body and just a hint of carbonation. Hides the alcohol exceptionally well. The balance makes this work very well. A pretty solid Perry by all accords.

Aroma: intense pears, light alcohol, molasses. Appearance: clear gold, no head. Taste: medium sweet. Palate: sweets continue, molasses, slightly dry finish. Overall: very nice Perry, excellent pear flavours throughout. Bottle from Middle Farm, Lewes.

500ml bottle. Pours golden yellow, sparkling with a lusciously sweet perry / vanilla aroma. Given how badly I’ve rated all my previous encounters with Gwatkins this is surprisingly drinkable! Still rather sweet, with some pear drops and sugar, but there’s a lot of juiciness here and the fruity character of the pear really shines. A touch of dusty funk on the finish too.
