Feb 1, 2005 Bottle. Flavour of cheap sparkling wine. Short softly acidic, lightly carbonated mouthfeel. Some apple/pear fruit. Not much happening to be honest.

Dec 23, 2002 Very sparkling and dry with a touch of perry. I don’t like the bottle though. It’s too girlish.

Feb 12, 2005 Bottled at the RB Joet London gathering. Joeh’s joke contribution. Very slight sulphur on the nose. Some vague fruit. Prickly mouthfeel, a bit flabby. Not much flavour, but not offensive.

Jan 13, 2008 This has a very pale yellow body that began quite lively but soon flattened out. The aroma has the light scents of pears and sweet apples with a drop of vinegar. Good thing the light body has some spritz left in it, because the delicate, sweet pear tastes are almost light enough to miss, letting you think you’d had a glass of water. Not offensive by any means, but nothing really ever happens. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?PlaceID=3984> Sam’s Wine & Spirits, Downers Grove, IL<font size=-1>

May 10, 2008 Pale yellow color with a few white bubbles on top. Mineral and acidic aromas. Unfortunately reminds me of asparagus after it has traversed the urinary tract. Mild pear and sauerkraut flavors. Enough sweetness that helps assuage some of the flavors, but I’m still quite puzzled bu this one. I think if you drink it cold and quick enough you miss some of the things that make me wonder if I should really be drinking this.
