500 ml can. lightly carbonated. Don’t taste like pear at all, more like a cheap wine. Even smells like a cheap wine.

Bottle at Westgate JDW Canterbury. Clear very pale gold almost green gold in colour and lots of carbonation. Aroma of apple ginger and soap. Quite an aggressive big aroma. Its pretty plain in the mouth with sweet apple. Yes the soapy ginger runs through it too. Frankly its revolting. How anyone would actively enjoy this is beyonh me. Ugh

Bottle. A clear, golden cider with some white bubbles. The aroma has lots of butterscotch, some vanilla and a hint of apples. After half a minute the butterscotch and vanilla seems to almost disappear, and the apples come forward. The flavor isn’t as toffee-ish as the aroma, but the name of the drink is understandable. It finishes more or less as it starts, and overall, this is nowhere near to be my preferred cider, but it’s definitely better than the industrial “ciders”. 101023

Bottle. A clear, golden perry with some white bubbles around the rim. The aroma is a bit weak, but with some funky, orchard aromas and some pear. The pear should be more noticeable I think. On the palate it’s rather thin, but pleasantly carbonated. The flavor has some notes of caramel in addition to pears, orchard and a hint of some funk. In both aroma and flavor there’s also something cellarish, but cellar isn’t the correct word to use. Dusty old curtains maybe. Anyway, a drinkable perry that won’t scare anyone, but that’s also what I hold against it. 101023

Bottled. Yellowish golden colour with a small white sparkling head. Aroma is pear, mild sugar, some wood and mild apples as well. Flavour is being quite much sticky sweet perry along with some mild wood and some slight sour/tart notes.

Part of my mix a six crap rate pack purchased at New Beer. Dropped this one into my backpack before going to work. Popped it open at lunch with some tasty hen soup. Clear plastic cup. Odd whiff of stale lager as the tab is opened. Pale macro color, with a wispy quarter inch of eggshell head & minimal activity. Smells like old, soured lager, aged on cigarette butts. Going in blind, you wouldn’t be able to tell this was a cider. Industrial or not, aroma is just plain absent. Taste is more tart then sweet. Something like half flat tamarind soda, but with a yeasty, mineral finish. Residuals taste like they carbonated it with hydrogen peroxide. Can states 30 grams of sugar, 285 calories. Honestly, it doesn’t seem that sweet. The high acidity covers up a lot of it. I’m sure I’ll have a headache later. Yes, I finished the can. I’ve had worse.

Can at home with Lyoli. Ok, this beer is interesting. Pours clear, barely faint yellow with some modest carbonation. Aroma is funky vinegar, chemicals and underripe green apples. Flavor is lots of green apples, not ripe, with some white sugar, chemistry, wool socks and leather. Light to medium in body with lively carbonation. Sweet finish, with more of the green apples, funky vinegar and some good boozy warmth. Obviously this is not a great drink, and from a quality standpoint I might give it a 2. But I do like touches of vinegar in my cider, and this one also is not cloyingly sweet. And the crunk value (7.5%abv for 79p) is off the charts. Not for the faint of heart, just the faint of cash.
