Commercial Description:
Ace Pear is made from a base of 100% pure, local apple juice. Pear essence is added to give the cider its distinctive pear taste; a taste so fresh and natural it is already proving as popular as its more traditional apple counterpart.

Clear and golden. Aroma is of pear. Flavor is of alcohol, pear, and it tastes a little bit like white wine to me... a bit like vinegar. Nothing too special going on here. 12 oz. bottle.

Not impressed at all. Poor cider that’s weak, almost like an expired juice box. The pear flavor was lacking.

(Bottle) Weak, overall. The pear taste is not particularly strong: this cider tastes in many respects like a slightly blander version of green-apple cider, with a hint of pear. Why not try making pears more central to the process, or adding more pear essence? The texture? Carbonation is weak...much like apple juice with a tiny bit of fizz. Overall, disappointing, but still pleasant and drinkable.

Courtesy of V. It is a good woman who brings you beer, even if she occasionally comes home with a cider. As far as ciders go, I never drink them, so I don’t know if this is good. Tasted OK to me.

On-tap at some bar in Sebastopol. Pours translucent, light, yellow/greenish like tinted water. Tiny, fizzy white head. Smells like overripe, fermented pear, a bit of booze smell as well. Tastes like pears and a bit of booze and slightly rotten. Thin body, subdued carbonation.
