Light, crisp and very refreshing....I served it over ice with a little freshly squeezed lime.

UPDATED: FEB 21, 2013 Przeciętny cydr gruszkowy. Napój mocno nagazowany z aromatem gruszkowym i nutą, a raczej szczyptą imbiru. Bardzo przyprawowy cydr o przejżystej słomkowej barwie. Nietypowy i inny niż sdandardowe gruszkowe cydry.

Bottle shared with MichaelBruch. Aroma is pure ginger beer. Flavour and taste as well combined with some fine citrus hints.

MichaelBruch (1472) - Wanne-Eickel, GERMANY - SEP 15, 2012
Bottle shared with McTapps. Pours in nearly white with big very unstable head. Nose is just ginger. Aroma of ginger, maybe a but honey. Tastes like sweets mixed with honey. No pears at all. Strange as you think you were drinking sweets with ginger. Still drinkable. But below average.

Bottle. Pours like a pale water colour, the aroma is all ginger with just a hint of pear, the taste again is all ginger no hint of pear.

Looks like sparkling water. Thin and gassy. Initial sweet pear followed by quite a mild ginger taste. I expected something a bit more fiery.

Muggus69 (885) - Newcastle, NSW, AUSTRALIA - APR 20, 2012
500mL bottle Pours near water white body, faintest tinge of the ginge, brilliant clarity. Course bead. Faint aroma, bit of confectionary pear and lemonade. Not much ginger to mention. Fizzy soft drink-like carbonation, light body, somewhat watery, finishes short on the palate. Medium sweet up front, bit of lemonade and pear candy. Ginger comes through towards the finish with a subtle hint of spicy warm, Very clean, dry finish. This could easily be confused with a soft drink. Not really my cup of tea - would be nice to see more ginger flavour.

tommann (1989) - Dudley, West Midlands, ENGLAND - JAN 6, 2012
500ml bottle at 4.0%. Pours like watered down limeade. Aroma is warm ginger with a little pear underneath. Taste has a little soapy ginger to start and a watery pear finish. Poor.

ComradeK (731) - Blue Mountains, AUSTRALIA - DEC 4, 2011
500ml bottle. Pours a clear and very pale straw yellow, with fine trailing bubbles. The aroma is an odd mix of ginger, a slight off-sweetness and a whiff of leather, and not entirely appealing. Thankfully, it tastes better than it smells. An initial mild and fruity pear flavour is overcome by ginger, which mixes well with the fruity sweetness one expects to find in a commercial perry. The pear flavour reappears in the body, blending nicely with the ginger. The finish tastes exactly like proper, brewed ginger beer, as opposed to the artificially-flavoured stuff. This is a very unusual drink - pear and ginger make an odd flavour combination, although not an unpleasant one. On the whole, however, I would prefer to just have an ordinary perry.
