Pint at the Old Manor in Bracknell. Very pale yellow, almost clear, no head. Light, sweet and chuggable, but not advisable considering the ABV. Not normally a cider man, but this was fairly decent. Light pear and phenol aroma. Could do with a bit more of a distinctive taste, but its refreshing.

Polycask at Harbury Beer Festival, Harbury, Warwickshire, 03.09.11 Very light silvery colour, I seemed to think that this was aged in some barrel or other but online programme doesn’t state that. Not really my thing, it’s too sweet and lacks a sharp pear tang, it’ll no doubt appeal to those moving on from alcopops and I can understand in that sense why it is popular, but not my thing at all.

[Polypin at the Three Crowns, Chippenham] Clear, exceptionally pale greenish-gold. Aroma of nail varnish remover and pear drops. Tastes of over-ripe pears - very sweet but in a nice way. Alcohol is evident. After a while it feels like it’s dissolving your teeth. Nice in a shot glass, any more and the sweetness gets a bit too much.

Bag in a box Red Well Wellingborough . Pretty much white in colour with a merest hint of green. Lots of pears in this. Pithy sweet and friendly. Easy to drink and refreshing. Nice enough but after a while it does become too simple and syrupy. Needs more funk.

Cask @ GBA @ Gallows Bird. Pours a flat, greenish yellow with no head. Rather dull. Aroma is citric perry. Taste is much of the same though sweeter. A rather dry finish, but too little too late.

On Draught at a Wetherspoons in their Spring Beer Fesival. Greenish straw with no head. Sweet, light perry, a little thin on flavour but certainly not unpleasant. Late dryness, its reasonable.
