Shared 750 ml clear bottle (caged & corked), from British Corner Shop. ABV is 5.5%. Very pale yellow colour. Bad aroma, desinfectant and only a hint of pears. The flavour is better, notes of pear and sugar. Not something I'll buy again though.

750ml bottle from ASDA, Darlington. 6.8%. Pale yellow colour, short-lived fizzy white foam head and aroma of sulphur, hints of tart pear. Taste is sweet, pear flavour, sugary, alittle tartness and sulphury notes. Syrupy mouthfeel, medium bodied, spritzy carbonation, semi-dry finish. Kind of OK.

On 23rd Jan 2020 I decided to change all my 34 'ticks' for no-beers into rates. Every 'tick' scored a '3', this will not change as they become 'rates'. My 'ticks' were Ciders, Meads, Perrys and Sake. This is pear juice!

Bag in Box at Ackney - cheers to Dirty LKS. It pours clear greenish - yellow with a small white head. The aroma is sweet, tart, tangy, pear, apple, gooseberry, vinous, floral, vanilla and wood. The taste is dry, bitter - sweet, vinous, gooseberry, white grape skin, pear, elderflower and granny smith apple with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Was expecting a lot worse tbh. Drinks pretty smooth.
