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.

Jun 22, 2008 Draft at The Social. Pours a clear, pale yellow-straw color. Copious amounts of obtuse bubbles line the entire length of the glass, pooling into a fizzy, off-white head. Aromas are as muted as can be, with notes of sweet sugar water and diluted, artificial pear syrup. Flavors are equally disappointing, basically tasting like a train wreck of light corn syrup, water, and pear. The mouthfeel is thin and fizzy, finishing with a sweet, sticky film. Overall, this basically looks, smells, and drinks like a watered down pear soda. This stuff is atrocious.

Apr 26, 2008 Green bottle with a screw cap: Horrible garbage disposal smell. Clear yellow, no carbonation. Rubber garbage flavor. Only slightly pear-like. Weird butter and sour cream finish. My luck with ciders and perries has been abyssmal lately.

Apr 2, 2008 750ml bottle from Bevmo, Valencia; Nose of fpears with some tartness and a fiant funky note; translucent yellow-gold withe some scattered bubbles, but carbonation tickles your tongue as the perry hits it; flavor is tart pears with only a hint of sweetness hidden mostly by the tartness; finish is dry and tart! A good perry and obviously underrated!
