Sampled at the 2013 Chicago Cider Summit. Pours a clear yellowish gold with no visible carbonation or head. Aroma has a combination of sweet and tart pear. Flavor is much more musty with pear and has a bit of sweetness that comes out in the finish.

Sampled at Ft Wayne RB tasting - This cider has a rich, ripe apple aroma. It’s like it smells sweet, but it definitely doesn’t taste sweet. It’s pretty dry as the name indicates. It’s also light bodied and watery. The aroma is the best part.

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.

Bottle @ Jimmy’s 43.
Wine glass. Clear, medium gold body. Spritzy.
Smell is very sweet pear perfume, hard water, yeast, & slight barnyard.
Taste is slighty tart & bittersweet pears, champagne grapes, & dusty yeast. Mild, herbal bitterness. Low to medium acid. Just a touch of funk in there.
Beaded, tight carbonation. Manages to finish just dry enough. Very easy.

Bottle @ The-Fest in Woosta.
Slight wink of carbonation. Pale, yellow citrus soda.
Twangy, cored, floral, flinty nose.
Tastes like hard water. Unintended flash of carbonation. Apples seem secondary. Bitter acid apples. Gently sour. Pith. Like drinking from a can. Sharp, woody & iron finish.
A kidney stone in every bottle!

Bottle @ home, picked up at Wilbur’s Foco. Very light whitish yellow appearance with a white head that dissipates quickly. Caramel, light butterscotch, pear, apple, vanilla aroma. Tangy, somewhat tart, butterscotch, dull pear flavor. Tastes a bit off but not all that bad.
