MatSciGuy (390), St. Paul, Minnesota, USA Oct 18, 2008 [Bottle] shared by skyview. Pours gold with a tiny head. Aroma is sweet pear, some maple syrup, and a touch of vinegar. Flavor is syrupy, pear, brown sugar, apricot, and a little alcohol. Silky smooth. BDR (1984), Roseville, Minnesota, USA Jun 3, 2008 Sweet pear aroma with a hint of brown sugar. Similar flavor but with a well balanced sweetness. Gold color. Thanks to Skyview for sharing. JK (2520), uptown, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA May 26, 2008 Much better than the dry pear. Sweet aroma with a little yeast and abundant pear. Flavor is sweet but there is a bite from the carbonation. Gold in color and very smooth, and the sweet flavor with sugar and pears makes this very drinkable. I would drink this again. Thanks to Skyview for sharing. Guerde (528), Welcome, Minnesota, USA May 19, 2008 (bottle, thanks Skyview!) Pours dark gold. Aroma is a nice mix of caramel, butter, brown sugar, and some light alcohol. Taste is brown sugar, honey, and raisin, I didn’t taste any pear though. Mouthfeel is medium and very smooth. This is probably the best perry I’ve ever tasted. Skyview (3142), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA May 16, 2008 Picked up a 750 ml bottle from the winery near Bayfield, Wisconsin. Pours a clear golden caramel perry/cider with a clean top. Aroma of lots of sweet tropical fruit, pineapple, pears, and even a touch of passion fruit. Taste is smooth and silky, with flavors of sweet pear, creme of tartar, light pineapple and some apricot. Finish is just as smooth and silk with a sweet finish at first and then immediate disappear act. Alcohol is very well hidden throughout this perry. Wow! If I could pick one sweet perry as a standard to compare all others I would definitely use this one. I would also like to see this winery make an ice perry with this style. Most excellent!
