Keg @ Stable, Birmingham. Pours misty yellow, light sparkle. Aroma is curiously sweet, peachy perhaps with overripe pear. Continues to taste, with a juicy light character.. quite a good showcase for this classic cider apple though I've never tasted it as sweet as this before.

Baginabox at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading. Clear pale gold with green hints. Clever name for it. Tastes of tinned pears on syrup with a scrumpyish tannic background. Sharp up front, plenty of sweetness, some vanilla and a dry finish. Smooth but dry aftertaste Pretty pleasant. I enjoyed it.

Bag in a box at Shakespeare Head Spoons. Hazy pale green colour. Aroma of a perry. No carbonation. I quite liked it. Medium sweetness. But at least it smells of pears. I quote liked it. Refreshing on a hot day.

Great pun on a cider perry blend. On BIB at the Standing Order. Appearance - golden amber. Nose - elusive apple and pear. Taste - very sweet apple and pear. Predominantly pear. Palate - creamy and a bit sweet generally. Overall - a wee bit too sweet for me.
