Fin (3376), Merton, Oxfordshire, England Jul 30, 2008 Polycask at Merton Summer Beer Festival July 19th Strange one this the aroma is the first thing that i ntrigued me at first I thought rum but then when chatting to friend Bob we felt that it could have been aged in a sherry cask. It pours very light in colour light straw colour and the taste is in my opinion a little too strong and unbalanced what pear there is seems to be fighting a losing battle with the spoirit to assert itself. A lot of people liked this, I thought it was just about ok. duff (5474), Surrey, Greater London, England Feb 10, 2007 Bottle. Tastes quite spirity and sweet, has some slight dessert wine characters. Some pruny fruit, with spirity pear flavours, with some warming alcohol. This was pretty good. joss (3630), Garching b. München, Germany Feb 3, 2007 LCRBM2. Musty, spongy aroma. Looks like white wine. Fermented pear flavor obviously, sherrylike notes, wooden finish. Oily mouthfeel. maeib (4677), Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, England Sep 20, 2006 Bottled - LCRBM2 - A clear lime green coloured perry. The aroma is very alcoholic, seems like a pear licqueur or a spirit. The taste is also very heavy and strong. Very sweet, pear fruits. Too much alcohol for me, but then this bottle was over 12 months old, so it may actually have picked up strength from its original 9.5% over the time. diabel (1366), Aarschot, Belgium Sep 19, 2006 Bottle at LCRBM 2, Kulminator, Antwerp, Belgium Clear, pale, yellow body. Looks like a watery wine. Aroma of liquor and pears. Watery, alcoholic, peary flavour. Moderately sweet. harrisoni (6703), Ashford, Kent, England Sep 18, 2006 LCRBM2. Thanks to maeib for this one. Clear pale gold, no head. Varnish aroma. Crude. Very alcoholic and I can’t get past that varnish flavour and aroma. jbrus (4835), Delft, Netherlands Sep 14, 2006 Bottled, LCRBM. Aroma of apple, apple, more apple and some alcohol. Yellow color, clear body, no head or lace of course. Sweet, apple, hint of varnish, sticky and very warming. bierkoning (5985), La Tropica, Netherlands Sep 11, 2006 LCRBM2: Pear, a bit sugary and very alcoholic. Some oak in the aftertaste. Vinous. Not something I’d look for.
