Bottle. Gold body with a white head. Spicy hop aroma typical of a Saaz hopped Pils. The flavor has a fruity notes, must be the pear. The pear also smooths out the crisp edges from a typical Pils, giving this aspects of an ale. Lightly bitter and easy drinking.

Pour is a hazy golden with a large white head. Aroma is the pear juice with some herbal tea. The pear juice kind of dominates anything the base beer brought to the aroma. Flavor is a little better with more pear juice to start then comes a bready malt. Some saaz hops show up I guess but again the pear juice covers up all the other ingredients and gives this a soapy finish. I would have liked to have this beer without the juice to see what Dogfish could do with a normal pils.

12 oz bottle from Trader Joe’s. Poured in a Trumer stenge glass because why not. Even pouring carefully down the side, it still kicks up a frothy head, over a slightly hazy straw colored malt. Smell has a slight bit of fruit juice to it, but seems to be neither pear, nor pils. Gotta say the taste is not much to my liking, and I realize this "pear tea," whatever it is, is doing most of the talking. My experience with tea in beers has been pretty hit or miss and this one seems more like a "miss." Perhaps if they went without the tea and used more juice?
