3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
500mL Bottle, poured at CiderDays 2012. How do so many perries end up tasting like lightly flavored soda pop? Perries must be hard to make, because this one isn’t much offensive, but there’s nothing to latch onto. I appreciate some of the dryness, but I want some flavor.

2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
UPDATED: OCT 6, 2011 Bottle @ home- not sure where I picked this up (first American rater... where the fuck did I get this???) I’m not going to lie- this is a strange choice on my part to drink at 1am on a work night. Clear golden yellow appearance with a little, off-white head. Slightly spicy, vinous pear, a touch vinegar-like aroma. Tangy, pulpy pear, vinous, acidic flavor. This really isn’t that smooth and tastes stronger than it actually is. I’m a little surprised that my cat was going to town drinking this- I guess at least it’s not going to waste...
