Thorn has a strong claim to the title “Greatest British Pear” and this bottle would be produced in a court of law as evidence for that! A treasured early season pear, this was fermented in an oak cask and bottled pet nat, retaining natural sugars and the zest of a young perry. It was then named Best Sweet Perry at the International Cider & Perry competition at the Museum of Cider, Hereford. Honey, nectar, kiwi, lime, elderflower, lemon, pure delicious fruit, vibrating and oscillating across the palate in a sensational avalanche of flavour. One more please. 750ml. 5.2%.

15cl bottle sample @ Cider House, Borough Market.
Couleur pâle, qcq fines bulles blanches éparses à la surface sur les rebords.
Arôme est frais fruité avec une fine douceur de poires - délicat.
Palais est assez sec avec une belle pétillance - acerbe malgré un support de poires qui perce en retrait - l'usage de 'cask' confère un léger caractère boisé qui vient ajouter une bonne complexité en fin de bouche - fruité sans pour cela avec une finalité sucrée surfaite.
