Serve in Flute, Lager glass

750ml bottle that was impossible to open. I’m new to ciders so I really didn’t know what to make of this, but it’s somewhat pleasant, kind of like a cheap champagne. Tastes like winegrapes more than pear. Overall, I won’t be getting this again, though I can’t say that it was a bad experience. Just indifferent. Try it if you want something new and affordable.

Never had a perry before so i picked this one up. Pours a very very very light yellow clear color with a few small bubbles around rim. Aroma is very sweet and desertlike - reminds me of the smell of vanilla ice cream. Flavor starts sweet but then has a tartness to it which tastes part liked canned pears and part like tart apple cider. In a way reminds me of a pinot grigio or other tart acidic wine. Overall, I found this not too bad at all. Glad I tried it.

Sent in photo to be uploaded. Should have figured that a $3 for a 750mL this would be bad. Pours the color of a clear, light chardonnay with bubbles and a white ring around the glass. aroma of plastic, card noard, corn syrup, over-rippened pear, sulfur and methane. Blah, this stuff tastes pretty bad. Cloyingly sweet, with sulfur. I guess I get what I payed for. Small bubbles but obviously force carbonated.

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.

Pour is clear bright yellow with a thin white head...smell is sweet and sugary pear....super sweet...sweet and vegetable water fruit juice flavor...blech!

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.

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.

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!
