On tap at Rocks Brewing, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out green apples and medium sweetness. Flavour brings out crisp green apples, and an almost dry hopping quality. Complex and well-balanced. Very good.

330ml bottle from Dan Murphy’s, Hurstville . Pale yellow colour, short-lived white foam head and sweet apple aroma. Taste is apple, sweet, tangy, hint of sulphur. Light bodied, medium carbonation, dry lightly tannic finish. OK.

(Bottle) Clear straw, no head. Subtle aroma, mainly funky with some tangy fruit and spice hints. Light body with lovely smooth and bright carbonation. Nice fresh and apples taste with some spicy hints. Nicely but gently tart with some sweetness. Nice easy drinking cider.

(Bottle) Clear pale golden with perhaps a lime green tint, and no head. Pleasant aroma of tart apple / pear with a hint of funk and possibly wood. Light bodied with plenty of pleasant carbonation. Nice taste, a little sweet for me, but there’s enough else going on to make this in interesting drink. Starts of light and slightly tart, then develops in the mid palate plenty of fruit flavours, which knowing it is made of pears I can identify as pears, but would otherwise just be an interesting fruitiness. Following this the funky, woody notes make a subtle reappearance adding some class. I did catch those funky notes sometimes in the foretaste too. Overall very drinkable, but a touch too sweet.

Light straw colour. Light pear character on the nose. The oak is quite a bit heavier on the palate. Nice refreshing perry.

Bottle 33 cl at Royal Albert Hotel, Sydney, on July 18, 2013.I accidentally rubbed off the BB date when getting rid of some condensation...Clear pear color, no head. Sweet, a bit tart, cidery, sort of vinous taste, hints of sulphides, more apple than pear to me. Fruity, dry aftertaste. Medium mouthfeel to a bit fizzy, pretty much no bitterness, but some fruit peel touch. Sweet, fruity scent.

Draught in the smaller sized glass/middy, at The Local Taphouse, Sydney, on July 10, 2013.Clear honey color, some very small bubbles, but no head really. Apple, dry, slight bit tart, a tiny bit vinous taste. Medium mouthfeel, low to very low bitterness, tart aftertaste. Sweet, apple scent.
