A meeting of minds and differing approaches. Working with our friend Tom Oliver of Oliver's Cider and Perry, we fermented pear juice in a natural red wine barrel for 10 months before dry-hopping with NZ Cascade and Nelson Sauvin.

375ml bottle from the Hoptimist, Leeds. Slightly hazed yellow gold colour, white foamy head leaving some lacing and aroma of dank resiny citrus hop, floral, pear. Taste is sweetish and sour, fruity, pear, floral, with resinous lemon-lime citrusy hop and some tart acidity. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, sour floral hoppy finish. Very drinkable.

Bottle. CW online I think. Light haze on a pale green tinged straw gold. Fine white head stays the course. Nose has fruity red wine. Tart pear juice. Some dessert pear. Stalky and tannin character. Whiff of stinky goaty brett. Lovely hop hit. Lots going on. Taste is tart and sweet and lightly funky bitter. Clean and crisp and smooth. Juice for days on the finish. Blinder.

375ml bottle as part of a delivery from Cloudwater. Light yellow, clear with some visible carbonation and a quickly dissipating white head. Notes of pear, white wine, lemon zest, gooseberry on the nose. Bittersweet taste with a focus on the gentle hops and with a drying finish. Lingering gooseberry and white wine spritzer notes on the aftertaste. Very nice, and not at all what I was expecting.
