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.

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.

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.
