Hmmmm what a mistaker to maker....thought this would be nice sitting in the sun....it made me feel like i was a teenage girl drinking an alcopop

My 200th rating - wasted on cider. To make it worse, an insipid cider with no flavour. Only positives are that it is wet and has alcohol in it.

light pear aroma,golden, clear, minimal head, light sweetness, lightly sour, light body, watery finish.

Almost like sweet water with a drop of pear. Golden coloured and clear. Has a white head, fully diminishing. Sweet aroma, faint notes of fruit, perhaps pear. Sweet flavor too. No acid. Light syrupy texture and lively carbonation.

568ml bottle. Pours gold with no carbonation. Aroma is pears, vegetables and old cheese. Taste has sweet pear to start and pear on the finish. Sharp carbonation.

I was looking forward to drinking this but I can’t say it’s anything special. It’s certainly not unpleasant, the sweet/synthetic pear does grow on you, however, I find it far too weak to draw any further conclusions on taste. As for the fizziness, completely unnecessary, I believe the finer perry’s were carbonated as an art form, with this drink it makes it feel cheap.

UPDATED: FEB 27, 2012 Bottle and tap. Golden colour with a bubbly head. Sweet pear nose. Heavy sweetness with artificial pear flavour.

Sampled in Ireland. Very similar to the original - as well as Magners, except the Pear flavor comes off as much lighter overall.

pale gold yellow, no head. served with ice. sweet pear nose, sweet pear taste. slight tart finish. refreshing, boring.

Can. No head. Color is pale yellow. Aroma and taste are dry and tart perries. A little citric.

Can courtesy Saxo. Greenish yellow colour. Moderate nice perry aroma. Semi dry and sweet flavor. Average finish. Oily palate.
