One of four in the standard selection from Anthem — the slight more modish and accessible kid sister cider label from Wandering Aengus Ciderworks in Salem, Oregon — the Pear cider is a blend of culinary pears from Hood River, Oregon. Overripe and juicy pear is the dominant aroma straight out of the can, with whiffs of orchard flower, pear skin, earth and red apple framing the edges. A silky texture and off-dry, fruit-forward flavor profile form the palate, leaving with a spritz of acid and earth as it easily glides on down.
