Bottle from their cider club, Perry edition. Low-ball glass @home. Loud cork, sizzling pour, pale, not quite crystal yellow gold brew. Bold orange, herb-y, grape-y, yeasty, fume-y honey poached pear scent. Yeasty, sharp, funky muscat grapes, oat sweetness, honey florals, chalk, inconsequential Aspirin bitterness, gum, residual pear skin that builds & is tasty. Unusually (semi)sweet for Eve's but lots of complexity. Super bubbly, light, leftover yeast adds some body. Sulfites seem more noticeable in perries. Moderate booze seem understated. Would like to try a drier bottle. Fun.
