Backlog rating 1-04-2009 (Bottle) This beer pours a transparent body with fast rising carbonation. The Aroma is sweet, sour, tart, and pears. The Taste is sweet, pears and has a dry finish. The Palate is smooth, clean and this is a medium bodied Perry. Overall the taste is not overly pear tasting and is refreshing in its own way.

Relative brought this one over. Couldn’t remember where he bought it, or when. This stuff has popped up at some bad festivals in my time, but I’ve never seen it for sale anywhere locally before.
Wine glass. Pale, gray, ginger ale, spritzy.
Smells of seltzer & old lady perfume. Bad dried fruit, rubber, & plastic.
Taste was a sugary/soapy mess of baby food pear puree & plastic pen caps. Headache inducing Sweet Tart candies, shot straight to your brain thanks to the harsh carbonation. So much off-putting canned plastic fruit & syrup. Thin. Oddly tart & bitter, like a mild poison.
A disaster. Completely.

Bottle left over from a seventies party that we held a few months back, it was sat looking forlon in the fridge. Consumed 09.07.12 Looks like fizzy water, maybe with just the merest green tint. Sweet, fizzy and forgettable. A bit too fizzy I think, possibly some fruit on the nose, not great but to be fair there are a lot worse drinks out there. A5 A3 T4 P2 Ov9 2.3

Pours a little grape juice .. . coasters? .. . has an interesting tang, even for a cider .. . light pear, and acidic paper .. . does not make me happy, catnip mostly...

Minimal smells. Tastes like soap and urine & very off. Pear, apples, nonono!

(20cl bottle best by 2-4-10 thanks to bu11zeye) clear near water color, very few bubbles. Nose of pear, alcohol, apple and mild funk. Taste of sweetened apple, nicely tart and pears.

(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.

Thanks to bu11zeye for sharing this 20cl bottle. Pours a very light yellow - nearly colorless - with some white bubbles. Strong pear aroma and some slight tart pear characteristics in the flavor. There is something off in the flavor, but I can’t quite put my finger on it. Nothing special.

Bottle 20cl. @ ChrisOs Pre-GBBF Shindig 2010.

[ Raise The Roof Tasting ]. Clear light yellow almost clear white color with virtually none head. Aroma is moderate pear, sweet pear, pear syrup. Flavor is moderate sweet with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. [20100731]

Bottled@The Chriso rock the roof down pre-GBBF tasting. Quite much watery see-through colour, no head. Aroma is mainly pears and sugar. Flavour is pear and sugar. Extremely sweet and not all too pleasant.
