What it tastes like
- bitter → sweet
- Sweetness leads, and it comes from pear juice: the 12th sweetest of 186.
- round → sour
- It tends round: 131st of 186 for acidity, and what little acid there is comes from pear juice.
- light → strong
- Just 8.7% in the glass: lighter than 74% of the catalogue, and the volume has as much to do with it as the recipe.
It is the longest of its group: 230 ml against the 185 of its nearest neighbour.
