Sample at 101 Beer Kitchen. This brew pours a hazy golden color with a thin white head that evaporates quickly to a film. Spotty lacing. Pear, yeast and malt in the nose. Light to medium body with a sweet-tart pear character with some doughy malt and yeast in the background. The finish is fruity and slightly oaky with a sweet pear aftertaste. Decent overall.

Draught at EBF, 2/5/16.
Hazy, lime-olive-tinted golden body is topped by a suspiciously large, white head that shows strong retention.
In the nose you’ve got A LOT of pear. I won’t call it highly artificial, yet nor would I call it fresh and authentic. Something like a pear jelly bean, I suppose (which of course are artificial, but do have a pretty decent pear character). Not much beyond that, perhaps a touch of acidity from the yeasts/bacteria breaks through on the end, but it’s very, very dominated by the pear.
The flavor is, unfortunately, heavily, heavily given over to the pear, which comes across even less authentic than in the nose. Sugary, syrupy and rather artificial (though I’ve had much worse, in an overall sense), it’s hard to get much more than the pear from the flavor. Moderate carbonation can’t help things out much and it ends with a doughy, biscuity, almost plastic-meets-powdered sugar thing going on, which isn’t a whole lot of fun either. Did not finish a two ounce sampl and I will have to disagree with SlovakSniper’s claim that it’s "not undrinkable". Let’s get some real pear juice or pear puree in here next batch.....
