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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
