Picked up a 750 ml bottle from the winery near Bayfield, Wisconsin. Pours a clear golden amber perry/cider with some small splash bubble on the top. Aroma has a character almost like a typical Chardonnay white wine, some dried flowers and a touch of oak. Taste is semi-dry with some green pear, dried figs and some butter. Finish has a mild buttery aftertaste that slowly disappears to a faint dried fruit flavor. Definitely and dry perry throughout with a creamy butter flavor is the best to describe this.

May 25, 2008 Light apple and fruit aroma. Flavor of butter with some pear. Just a little sugar. I didn’t care for this, but thanks to Skyview for the chance to try it.

May 19, 2008 (bottle, thanks Skyview) Pours gold. The smell is quite odd, with some cheese, funk, and vanilla. A pretty unpleasant combination. The taste is fruity sweet to begin with, but did have quite a dry finish. The taste wasn’t really offensive at all, but the aroma was pretty off-putting.

May 16, 2008 [Bottle, thanks Skyview] Pours deep gold with a tiny white head. The aroma is really unusual, but not in a good way. The taste is sweet, but it is natural fruity pear sweetness, not intense artificial sugar. As Ben said, this was something that you could not drink much of--even the small sample that I tried was nearly too much.
