Gold color. Aromas and flavors of pear candy, peach, orange blossom, and strawberry with a round, lively, spritzy, dry medium body and a tingling, interesting, medium-length finish evoking accents of bartlett pear, peach cobbler, orange blossom honey, and fruit cup. A lovely Perry with a delicious weight to it and enough complexity to balance its generous sweetness.

About
Perry
The perry/poire tradition is very similar to apple cider tradition. Running parallel to its better-known cousin, pears make for a subtler and more nuanced fruit beverage. Ideally, look for true pear flavors, not sweet, nor cloying. Dryness and minerality are a plus and carbonation level is at the discretion of the producer.
