Well, I think this is good, obviously not compared to a good beer, but better than most ciders (apples) I’ve had, no chemical-sweet after taste.

On tap at Liars Club. Clear light yellow with no head. Sour pear aroma, crisp slightly tart pear taste.

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.

Bottle from asda. Eventually i get round to babycham, you know your tight for ratings when your on this! Aroma is sweet metallic, hints at tart apples more than pears i thought, thoguht as it finishes closer to pear drops. Taste is similar, harsh carbonation, again metallic in the finish.

bottle poured into a flute. Probably the most gentle drink I have ever tried. Very faint aroma and flavours of pear throughout.

bhensonb (7125) - Woodland, California, USA - OCT 1, 2007
Nice clean aroma, with a very slight hint of pear skin. Didn’t get the cat piss. Very pale golden color with a white head that was decent. Fairly thin in body. Decent, moderate carbonation. Tiny bubbles. Very astringent. Definitely pear and pear skin. I’d say Bartlett, but ... Then there’s just a brief slightly sweet moment. Dry, pear finish.

Kinz (2694) - Glen Allen, Virginia, USA - SEP 5, 2007
Pours a light pale yellow, fizzy, remarkably similar to cheap champagne. Which in the end is what this reminded me of, an Asti Spumante of the perry world. Aroma faintly of pears and a bit of cat piss (in a good way actually, wish there had been a heck of a lot more of this). Flavor was of pear and frankly a lot of apple. If someone had told me this was a regular apple cider, I would have believed it. A bit sweet on the finish. By no means a "serious" beverage, but relatively inoffensive really.

Bottle; pours a pale and clear yellow. Aroma was pear and fruit. Flavor was ok, but I didn’t like the mouthfeel. Not a big fan of ciders or this in particular.
