Wyder's Pear Cider, 4% ABV, 17g sugar

This is an utterly pedestrian and completely forgettable pear cider. I was less than thrilled to try it, but it was the only cider on the menu at Lucille's Smokehouse BBQ. Wyder's is a big name in the cider game, sort of the equivalent of Miller or Budweiser in the beer world, which is to say their product tastes as if it is mass-produced for that cross-section of the public with little discriminating taste. The mouthfeel was thin, and the color was weak -- basically like tinted water. No haze or sediment to speak of. The low ABV and the almost nonexistent carbonation further undermined the taste/texture experience. All that remained was the overly sweet essence of Bartlett pear. 4.5 out of 10.
