Sir Perry Pear Cider


(William’s) Sir Perry Pear Cider
Bristol, England
A: Pours a clear golden yellow with just hints of foam remaining.
S:  Aromas of pear (Bartlett, Anjou, and bosch) with hints of lemon and light yeastiness.
T:  Dry pears and light apples dominate the flavor with a touch of lemony tartness and some indication of a buttery caramel,
M:  Light to medium in body with a bright champagne carbonation.
D:  Very drinkable, however the sweetness can build in this one.
Pairing:  Think cheese, charcuterie, salty bar snacks, and light creamy desserts.
Straffe Hendrik Belgian Quadrupel  11%ABV
A:  Pours a slightly cloudy brown with gorgeous red highlights and a lofty beige head.
S:  Aromas of squaw bread, molasses, dark fruits, dark chocolate.
T:  Starts light and floral then succumbs to the rich roasted malts and complexities of the belgian yeast esters.   Notes of apple, raisin, brown sugar, earthy caramel.
M: Med- full in body with modest carbonation and a sincere alcohol warmth.
D: This is quite the sipper but would also pair incredibly with food.
