Bottle, courtesy of my sister 15_2_Kuhnhenn, pours with a clear watery looking body that has a yellow sort of tint to it. The aroma is sweet with smooth honey, lime sweet pear notes and then booze. The taste delivers smooth sweet slick honey mixed with sugary syrup pear like notes and a moderate degree of waxy honey. Nice smooth sipper but I was expecting a bit of prickly pear funky earthiness. Nice though.

Bottle courtesy of tkrjukoff. Pours clear pale golden with a small fizzy goldenish white head that quickly dissipates without leaving any trace on the glass. Smell is sweet, boozy and tiny chemical with crackers, floral honey, pear juice, alcohol, pear ice cream and hints of acetone. Taste is very sweet with sweet bread, alcohol, floral honey, aspartame, pear popsicle, hay, lemon hard candy and hints of paint thinner. Mouthfeel is sticky sweet, clogging, very tiny fruity tart, boozy and medium bodied. finish is sweet with sweet bread, floral honey, tart pears, hay and alcohol. Bit chemical and slightly too clogging sweet. --- Beer merged from original tick of B. Nektar Cactus Pear Melomel on 02 Mar 2018 at 11:16 - Score: 6
