Pours a very light golden, clean colour with a head that disappears quickly, but some dirty foam stays on top. Artificial pear-like aromas with some sweetness and sourness. This candyish nose is something I do like though. The taste is closer to the real stuff. Lighter pear juices, but nicely balanced in the mouth. Not syrupy, not too sweet. Even the smell gets better with time, like truer to natural juices from the fruit. All nicely blended with the apples from the cider. I quite like this and would have again.
