375ml @ Ryan's. Appearance: a bit hazy blonde with no head. Aroma: a bit weird, like some artificial chemicals, pears, and light vegetables. Taste: along the same lines. Overall: ok.

Poured from 375mL bottle. Clear-ish blonde with no head. Asian pear, touch of glue, honey, just okay.

Nice deep gold body, clear and smooth, sweet floral apple with soft wood on the nose, vague elements of a boozy Belgian quadrupel in there as well. Flavour is rich sweet apple with some dark bitterness that helps explain the quadrupel reminiscence. Nice lingering sweetness. Quite bold and sugary yet very nice to drink slowly.

Boozy sweet pear aroma, round and fruity for sure, medium straw body. Flavour is more sweet pear, slightly syrupy, lots of sugar. Full mouthfeel, lingering sweetness, warming alcohol but it doesn't infect the flavour. Sweet and simple but very nice.

Nice pale straw colour, no foam. Good sweet apple on the nose though a little vinous and alcoholic. Let it sit for awhile.... this happened on the last wine from this place, it needed a few minutes to get some air to blow off the bad alcohol vibes. It eases up on the nose after awhile, more fruit green apple comes out. Flavour is a mostly chewy apple, though very dry with lots of wood in there. Warming from the alcohol, lingering sweetness. Moves into more juicy territory with a bit more aeration. Not bad, a little simple.

750ml bottle, 2018 edition, listed as 13.0% abv. Pale straw body. The nose is alcoholic pear, some soft fruity roundness in there but it's not prominent, in fact alcohol is quite pungent over the whole thing. Letting it rest a little the pear comes more forward, sweet pear, and indeed the oak is well represented. Flavour is sweet pear, the alcohol is well hidden, oak hints abound. Nice mouthfeel, slightly crisp and tart, warming also. Well defined, but not especially complex. Seems like it would benefit from decanting - off to Wal-Mart I go.

Soft light yellow body, minimal foam, strong carbonation. Bright sweet pear on the nose, not too sweet though, reasonably well balanced. Flavour is good pear fruitiness tempered by some skin tannins, smart levels of sweetness. Full mouthfeel, good carbonation. A good perry.

Good light white-yellow body and modest foam, strong carbonation. Nice sweet dessert apple aroma. Flavour is more sweet apple, slight tannins, modest vinegar. Nice sugary aftertaste. A sweet cider done right.

Good light white body, strong carbonation, minimal foam. Strong sugary peach on the nose, kind of fresh but also kind of fake. slight sharp apple notes. Flavour is good peach, soft apple, slight butter. Full mouthfeel. Nothing too exceptional here but it's an okay flavoured cider.

355mL bottle, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a tiny head. Nose is full of bright peaches, some apple skins, and a touch of acidity. Flavour follows suit, with bright peaches, a hint of tartness, medium sweetness, and a tiny bit of acidity. Really like the incorporation of the peaches. Good.
