Note: This is one of the Oliver’s products imported into the US by Shelton Brothers and named on their website as Oliver’s Bottle-Conditioned Perry. It may, or may not, be the same as one of ther UK variants.
This Herefordshire Perry is sparkling through conditioning in the bottle, achieved using the traditional skills and craft of the perry maker. As fermentation is completed in the bottle, the spent yeast will form a deposit.
Subtle hints of tropical fruit and the fall harvest come together in this complex sparkler, made with 100% Herefordshire perry pears and nothing else.

I hope I’m entering this rating in the right place, since the word "medium" does not appear anywhere on the bottle. However the abv, description and flavor (sorry, flavour) match quite nicely. I hope I’m right, since I uploaded the photo and added the bar code. Bottle. Cork tries to fly across the room with just two twists of the cage. Hazy bright golden yellow color, large white coca cola head that settles to champagne bubbles. Aroma is dusty fruit skins. Taste is full bodied, slightly sweet fruit at first with a bit of dryness at the very latest part of the finish. Very tasty.

Bottle @ Jimmy’s 43.
Wine glass. Clear, medium gold body. Spritzy.
Smell is very sweet pear perfume, hard water, yeast, & slight barnyard.
Taste is slighty tart & bittersweet pears, champagne grapes, & dusty yeast. Mild, herbal bitterness. Low to medium acid. Just a touch of funk in there.
Beaded, tight carbonation. Manages to finish just dry enough. Very easy.
