3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
My first infused sake! 7/12 styles down! 12/8/10. Small bottle. Cloudy off-white greenish pour. Light sour citrusy aroma with lemon peel and pear. Sweet fruity flavor that is definitely pear with hints of lemon peel.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
(187ml bottle, courtesy of Mora2000) Pours a hazy grayish green body with descent legs. Aroma of pear and vanilla. Flavor of pear, lemon, rice, and almonds.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
(6.3oz bottle thanks to mora2000) yellow-greenish with a ring of bubbles with no legs. Nose of melon, celery, pear. Taste of pear, sugar, rice, smooth, marshmallow, with nice carbonation and a fruity finish.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a hazy clear color (can something even be that color?). The aroma and flavor are very strong pear. I don’t get much, if anything else. Not bad, but nothing that reminds me of a sake.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle at redlight redlight. Pours a really lovely color, cloudy white silver. A little bit fizzy. The nose has some nice elements. Pear, floral, and some spring like blossom aromas but there is something just a little wet dog about it. Tastes pretty sweet but the pear gives it a drier element than it would probably normally have. That wet dog thing comes out a little more in the flavor. Pretty refreshing. Not bad, but that one element keeps me from loving it.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Pear juice on the nose with hints of peppermint and anise. Pours a cloudy white with soda like carbonation. Pear soda, not overly sweet, with a minty back ground, not bad really.
2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Small clear bottle from Nuggett Market in Vacaville, CA. Chilled. Hazy pear juice color. A few bubbles. Aromas of fusil oil and arguably pear. Light body, mild carbonation. Very. Rather tasty. Fruit and carbohydrate. Some sort of overall, but low level sweetness. Certainly drinkable.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
18.7 cL clear bottle. Pours hazy and pale yellowish with a fully gone head. Aroma is dry phenolic and light perry. Sweet, light citric and perry dry. Holds a distinct reminder of the rice base in the flavour. Dry and ricey finish.
