Tom Oliver makes cider and perry in small batches, using fresh pressed cider apples and perry pears, spontaneously fermented by wild yeasts. Nachmelená Hruška was made by co-fermenting an equal proportion of Herefordshire perry pear juice (2019 harvest), with wort made in the style of a Czech světlý ležák (light lager), using Czech grown barley and Saaz hops. The resulting beer conditioned in bottle for 7 months before release. Named by Tom's Czech right-hand man Jarek, "Nachmelená Hruška" translates as "hopped- or drunk- pear.

Bottle. Mills online. Light haze on a pale gold. Fine white head stays the course. Nose has dessert pear and apple. New leather brett. Bread crust grain. Some floral notes. Rosehip comes to mind. Taste has a floral, fruity sweetness, with a decent balance of sharp and bretty tart bitterness. Smooth and pretty full bodied. Fine carbonation. Bittersweet fruit to finish. Out of the ordinary.
