Sep 21, 2007 Bottle (500ml). From ... well, duh ..... Vintage 2006. Pale, watery yellow, flat-looking, no head. Quite sour, acid aroma, borderline fruity - fruity, but I wouldn’t swear to it being pear. The taste - nice aged pear, very tart, yeah, you can taste the 8%. Light, watery body, quite acidic and medium carbonated - it seems to guild up a bit on the palate and ultimately just wasn’t 500ml of awesomeness....

Jul 28, 2007 Bottle from Waitrose, Thame, Oxon, 27-07-07 Poured more golden than I was expecting, sweet pears, some nice oakiness, dry towards end, quite tasty but a bit too sweet and also quite heavily carbonated, less is more!

Jun 19, 2006 500ml bottle from Waitrose. Silver, gold colour with no head, but quite carbonated. Delicate pear aroma. Sweetish pear in mouth, or is that the alcohol? Some woodiness on aroma and end from the oak casks I guess. It is quite sweet. Pear juice flavour is nice but a bit too carbonated and a bit too sweet.
