Advantages: Beautiful taste, alcoholic, not too sweet, not too bitter, beautiful.

Disadvantages: Bit expensive (but worth it)

This is probably the nicest alcoholic drink that I don't have to mix or get abuse for drinking at parties- read WKD Core or Rum & Coke. It has an exceptionally well-balanced flavour, with a distinct pear aroma and flavour, and it is sweet but not too sweet. Kopparberg Pear is unique in that I can drink large volumes of it for extended periods of time, and it still fails to bore me. It is also unique in that I haven't encountered many other drinks which make me forget that I am actually drinking alcohol.

The drink is carbonated, but not very strongly so. It has a very good balance, in that it is not too fizzy to drink as soon as you open it but it doesn't lose all of its fizz rapidly, which would make it flat and unpleasant. The price you pay is exactly that- it is quite expensive relative to a lot of other products. However, I feel the premium is worth it as it is an exceptionally nice pear cider and neither overwhelming nor unpleasant in any way. it is my favourite pear cider and very nearly my favourite alcoholic drink full stop, although Kopparberg Mixed Fruits takes that crown. I would recommend bottles over cans if you can stretch, it tastes nicer I feel.

Summary: Brilliant pear cider and 5 stars in every way.
