Sampled at Ft Wayne RB tasting - This brew features a rich pear aroma. The flavor is sweet and watery. It has a light, thin body, no carbonation (intentionally a still perry or not?), and overall is just okay.

Corked wine bottle from Bruisin Ales. Pours gold with some white bubbles. Nice pear aroma with a hint of oak. Flavor is light pear with some oak astringency. Drinks tasty.

Bottle. I actually enjoyed this one quite a bit. 750 corked wine bottle. Pours still and a clear yellow. Aroma of light oak, sweet pear, light tannins, caramel and just a hint of something funky. Body is still and dry, with delicate, light sweet pear notes, and very slight oak tannins (the bottle says 8 months of oak aging..really? must have been some very worn out barrels). Medium to light body and still. Very drinkable. As a homebrewer and cider maker I find it interesting that they chose to leave this still, and not carbonation. It is refreshing but probably would have benefited from some added bubbles. Very understated overall, but enjoyable.
