BJCP Style C1E - Traditional Perry

Tags

Aroma

Appearance

Slightly cloudy to clear. Generally quite pale.

Flavor

There is a pear character, but not obviously fruity. It tends toward that of a young white wine. Some slight bitterness.

Mouthfeel

Relatively full, moderate to high tannin apparent as astringency.

Overall

Tannic. Medium to medium-sweet. Still to lightly sparkling. Only very slight acetification is acceptable. Mousiness and ropy/oily characters are serious faults.
