Bottle from the House of Trembling Madness. Clear, rich gold colour with a light fizz. Sweet dessert pears and cream and vanilla here - kind of a pear milkshake feel to it. There's a light dryness and just a hint of funk in the finish. Interesting and very drinkable, just lacks a bit of bite. Pretty impressive for the low ABV though.
