Bottle @home. Clear golden body under a small, fast disapearing white head. Champagne type carbonation. Aroma of ripe apple, mild oak and cellar notes. Taste is sweet, ripe apple and pear with some acidity. Nice oak and cellar notes. Medium body with average aftertaste with a fine balance between sweetness and mild acidity. All in all a fine perry where the pear flavor seems to taste a bit more in the direction of ripe apple. Not unusual really. Nice one anyway.

750 ml corked & caged bottle, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 8%. Pale golden colour, pours sparkling with a large but shortlived white head. Aroma of pears, a hint of oak and sulphites. Flavour of pears, mid between dry and sweet, again a hint of oak and sulphites. Okay.
