Bottle from ASDA online. Chemical pear aroma with added saccharine. Pale gold. A steady rise of bubbles. White head just clings to the inside rim. Light-medium sweet which then develops sourness. Reminds me of sour jelly sweets. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft carbonation. Dry finish. The palate's probably the best thing about it. Mass produced factory Perry.

Bottle shared at Leightons place 21/03/2016. Thanks to Paul for this one? Very pale petrol coloured pour with a fine white head. Aroma is tangy apple and fruity pears, some alcohol, cheap. Flavour is composed of harsh tangy, dry apple, harsh solvent, alcohol. Palate is dry and pithy, highish carbonation. Too harsh.

Mini 20cl bottle shared at Leighton’s. It pours clear very pale greenish gold with a fizzy white head. The aroma is earthy, sweet, pear skin, floral and dull must. The taste is sweet, sugary, candy, oily, fruit juicy from concentrate, pear cordiality a short, sweet finish. Light - medium body, fizzy carbonation and slightly sticky mouth - feel. Not a whole lot going on. Sweet and simple, but not horrific.

Bottle from Costcutters, consumed at home. Light yellow, not as ’sparkling’ as I thought. Very little aroma, gummy bears and plastic. Taste is sickly and weak but not altogether unpleasant. Body is thin and surprisingly flat. Not offensive but not a great perry. Well of course it isn’t.
