Le Pere Jules (Poire) Leon Desfrieches et fils - pear cider

Rating: 7/10

After eating a lot of pecan (I was making pecan pie previously), I finally got my hands on Le Pere Jules (Poire) Leon Desfrieches et fils - pear cider (750ml).


Apple-y, peary, and vinegary scent. Quite bubbly and grassy taste. It wraps around your tongue and finishes dry. Less sweet and less acidic than your normal cider, but it's first time for me to try a pear cider so I'd have to try another pear cider to compare. Very nice for a sunny weekend afternoon.

Rating: 4/10
'Authentic Australian', from NSW.
This is a rather sour and bitter beer. Initially (right out of the fridge) the taste is quite sharp and lacking in body. After twenty minutes or so, it tastes quite creamy but not as 'refreshing' as it says. It lacks character and I would not drink it again.
