Bright clear gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and minerally crisp. Light malts, mildly sweet. Trace of citrus. Sweetish pear and a little apple. Does what it says on the tin, but I was hoping for something a little more sophisticated.

On tap at the brewery. Heavy aroma of pear. Taste is not nearly as strong - definitely more pear aroma than flavor, but interesting nonetheless.

Yeasty pear nose. Crystal clear amber, thin head. Strong flavor of grain, un malted barley. Only light fruit notes. Very lagerish. Nice.

At the DC Craft Beer Festival. Poured a very pale light color, clear, virtually no head. Aroma was a lot of sweet pear, crisp lager. enjoyed last night. Flavor was sweet pear. Crisp lager. Easy to drink. Actually quite enjoyable to me.

Served on draft at the brewpub. Pours a clear very pale straw yellow. Medium sized creamy white head. Good head retention. Aroma of big pear notes with pale malts. The taste is pears, apples, pale grainy malts and a faint bitter finish. Very cider like. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, pretty drinkable.

Draft. Bright yellow color, thin white head. Aroma of pear juice. Taste is bitter straw and fruit. Lagers and fruit don’t mix.
