Happy day after Independence Day!

So, it looks like there’s a problem with the taps today, so I went bottle. Gave me a great chance to try something I hadn’t before: Fox Barrel Pacific Pear. As expected, it’s pretty sweet. Still nice and crisp, and not as sweet as Ace Pear for example. According to the bottle, they don’t add any sugar and they only use pear juice (not concentrate!) in the fermentation process. According to the ingredients, they do use concentrate, so I’m guessing that’s after in order to sweeten it. All and all, not a bad drink, but I couldn’t handle more than two, max, if I was going to have another. Really what people typically think of when they think “Cider.”
