750 bottle. Pours light yellow/clear, with no head, really not very appealing. Aroma is strong pear and piss. Flavor is tart, which isn’t so bad, but there are some very cloying sweet notes as well. Mouthfeel is very flimsy.

Pours almost clear. Smells of sweet pears. Tastes sickly sweet and sugary. Drain pour.

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.

Bottle. Flavour of cheap sparkling wine. Short softly acidic, lightly carbonated mouthfeel. Some apple/pear fruit. Not much happening to be honest.

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.

(20cl bottle) Pours a clear pale yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of apples, mustiness, and plastic. Flavor of apple, tiny little yellow flowers form my childhood, metal pipe, and some yogurt.

Clear golden with a tiny white short lasting head. Sweet aroma with artificial perries and glue. Flavour had artificial perries, glue and hints of youghurt. Noooo good.

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.

Bottled at The London/Joet Gathering Chez Chris_O. Oh dear! Brought to the gathering a a bit of a joke by Joeh (Thanks (I think)). A light green coloured drink with massive carbonation. The aroma is sweet with apples and pears - no funkiness at all. The taste is just nasty. Sweet and vomitlike. Not nice.

Babycham Pours clear and slightly yellow, looks like a light apple juice. Very little carbonation. Aroma reminds me of the hair salon when my mom used to get a perm back in the eighties. Sweet, pear and apple flavor but I can’t get over that aroma! It makes it hard to bring the lass to my mouth! Medicinal aftertaste. This is not good by any stretch of the imagination.
