The name Pyrus originates from the genus of the pear tree. Pyrus is our Fall and Winter saison brewed with pear juice, whole white peppercorns, and the zest of fresh oranges. Pyrus pours a hazy golden hue, with aromas of pear, citrus, and spice. A perfect compliment to seasonal fare.

22 oz. bottle purchased at Binny’s South Loop. Mostly hazy color gold thin retention in a snifter. Aroma is zesty spice / yeast with a light fruit note that doesn’t scream out pear but… yep, ok. More apple to me.
The flavor is herbal and zesty with the Belgian yeast notable but not overpowering by any sense. The fruit is like a pear apple hybrid that is grainy and juicy at the same time. Also, pretty sweet taste, baked bread and sugars. Its feels like it is a little forced as far as composition. A decent American version of the style but I would rather just reach for a true Belgian, that is of course if I could get more fresh ones here in the U.S. Overall still pretty well made.

Clear golden colour, white head. Malty aroma, pepper, white pepper, pear. Sweet malty flavour, pear. Finish pear, light pepper, light malts. Lots of pear. Not quite a saison in my book.
(From 65cL bottle @ the ’tick countries & enjoy some good beers’ tasting. Thanks for sharing, Tim!)

Clear orange to blond beer, big aery off-white head, little stable, non adhesive, falls down quickly. Aroma: yuck, way too spicy, anise, pears?? Dafuq is this stuff? MF: lots of carbon, medium body. Taste: spicy, little sourish, bit lemony, lots of aniseed, very spicy, weird bitterness. Aftertaste: bit sourish, lots of orange peel, weird spicy touch, sugary, funky, meh.

Location: Draft at Hackney's Printers Row, 7/15/14
Aroma: This one has a pear and citrus fruity aroma, pepper is more subtle, Belgian yeast
Appearance: Has a clear gold-orange pour, a small head and fairly minimal lace
Flavor: The flavor is more pepper/spice than the aroma, the fruit definitely plays second fiddle
Palate: It is light and easy drinking, tingly/spicy feel, lively carbonation, long finish
Overall Impression: I remember sampling this at Where the Wild Beers Are, and low-and-behold, my notes line-up with this rating. I guess this is still how I feel about the beer a month later.

Bottle shared around a campfire in the Root Glen - Hamilton College, Clinton, NY. Thanks to the Duke for this one. Solid beer. Moderately sweet with some herbal qualities, sugary pale and doughy bread. Modest Belgian yeast expression. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly bitter to finish with some piney herbs and more sweet, pale bread. Good stuff.
