Bottle at home, from Cat In A Glass online, 11/05/2025.
Almost clear faded yellow with a fast escaping white crown, carbonation well evident as are a few floaty friends.
Nose is damp wood, pear flesh, straw, herb, modest funk.
Taste comprises tangy pear, orchard wood, vinous, bitter sweet, hay bale, modest acidity.
Medium bodied, light spritzy carbonation, semi drying close.
Tidy enough perry ... decent balance and never runs overly sweet as the case can sometimes be.
