750 ml bottle from Little Earth Project. Didn't read the label, so the unshaked bottle yielded a cloudy very pale yellow beverage with a massive white head. Aroma of dust and funk with lots of pear juice, pear skin, vanilla and white pepper. Taste is fruity pear flesh, light lemon. High carbonation makes the mouthfeel a bit rough. After shaking the rest of the bottle, the carbonation is much softer, mouthfeel is greatly improved and this allows the flavours to come through. Glad I read the label!

75cl bottle from Tom Oliver. Pours misty golden yellow, small white head, constant flow of bubbles from the base. Bit of a gusher this unfortunately. Lost about a third. Aroma is light, pillowy smooth doughy yeast. Taste is light, extremely dry, thin scuzzy carbonation, gentle mirage-like perry fruit that disappears, subtle saison yeast with a mild detectable cidery wild funk twang that suggests something other than a simple saison. Interesting experiment, but it's lacking flavour and needs a little tweaking, more pear juice, or additional juice after fermentation, more Simcoe dry-hopping perhaps. Will be interesting to see this idea develop.
