It was sweet, but delicious, with a crisp pear flavor atop a vanilla cream background. Has anyone seen this in the U.S., and if so, where? I'd love to get some.

I think all cider lovers need to pipe up at their fave retailers.

The bartender was pushing it saying it was something new. I had a taste...pretty good lighter than regular cider. I don't remember the brand, but it was the first time I had heard of pear cider.

Quite a variety of offerings! You can see a picture of the label, which might jog somebody's memory. http://www.abro.se/eng/Products.aspx?ID=a9eaf212-ee63-4ac7-b781-5703b7871380&Parent=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000&T=0&N=0&S=1 Tue Sep 08 05:59:32 -0700 2009 5012017 70358 north2south 1 5015662 So the term "Perry" isn't used anymore - at least commercially? "Pear Cider" just sounds wrong to me, but, I suppose since "cider" is often considered a "beer" nowadays, I guess anything goes.

As to the term 'pear cider', Ace, for example, adds pear juice to apple juice, so that would seem to be an appropriate term.

I've had it on the menu (Luke-New Orleans) for awhile and it has become a real favorite among both the "I don't wanna get bombed" crowd and the people looking for an alternative to a light, effervescent drink subbing for champagne. It's only 3.5% alcohol, and carbonated as all get out. Good stuff. The apple, on the other hand, ain't so great.

I emailed the company to see where it is sold in NY, but they never got back to me. Mon Sep 14 14:45:41 -0700 2009 5012017 102195 imhungryletseat
