Finnriver Sparkling Pear Cider Enjoy the brightness of this cider, made from heirloom and organic dessert apples, blended with the elegant sweetness and subtle delights of organic pear. A timeless taste of the orchard. ABV: 6.5% Jameson Fink’s Tasting Notes: This semi-sweet cider with a fresh finish has deep pear flavor, like the difference between eating a pear with the skin on versus a peeled pear. Am I wrong to dream about glazing a ham with copious amounts of this cider, then serving up slices of it with a well-chilled mug of pear cider? I think not. Tasting notes written by Seattle writer Jameson Fink during an arduous spring afternoon on the farm, sipping cider and listening to the cows low.
