Bottle from Whole Foods Bowery. Sat quietly in a spare wine shipper till I dropped my keys & went looking. Sort of like finding a $20 bill in a pair of old jeans, or finding a number on a toilet stall that you recognize. Bottle is at this point close to 2 years old.
Ommegang anniversary glass. Violent cork shoots off with just an unhinging of the wire. Decent gusher too. Glass is ready though, & we clean up nice without much lost. Crazy active streams shoot up & sizzle on the surface. A tall & thin, foam develops, faltering & rising a quarter as tall with every stir of the glass. Honey orange body that is not quite clear, like wearing UV shades.
Smell is a mild grassy funk & bittersweet browned apples. Faint ammonia. Flinty. Dried apples. Mud. Wets my appetite.
Taste is all about sweet, slightly tart, browned apples & a sturdy, bitter leafy/salad/herbal note. Then there’s a good bit of calcium & skin, finishing with something nutty, leaving significant dry mouth.
Suds are strong, prickly, but not quite sizzling. Moderate acidity. Starchy body. Dry finish leaves me with the munchies.
I ditched the stemware after the first glass. French scrumpy. This deserves to be drunk out of a jar. :)

Pale golden with a small white head, and lively carbonation. Aroma dominated by pear, with a funky note of leather. Sweetish, but tart flavour with some funky notes and a hint of cellar.

Bottle. Yeasty, slightly over ripe pear aroma. Cloudy yellow with a fizzy, quickly dissipating white head, suspended yeast sediment. Sweet tart ripe pear, pear skin flavor with a dry finish. Light spritzy body, champagne-like. Overall, I found it quite enjoyable, and not too sweet.

Bottle, 75cl corked. It’s an almost clear perry, very pale yellow in color and with some white bubbles at finish. The aroma has more orchard than pear, but there’s sure some pear present. A bit on the sugary side maybe. It’s quite acidic and tart, but there’s still a good dash of residual sugars left. Pears, orchard and some fruitsugar in the flavor. Medium body fullness. pleasant carbonation. An easy drinkable and tasteful perry sure worth a revisit. 121124
