APPEARANCE 




Large tear shaped pear with pale yellow skin, a long brown stem and white flesh
AROMA 




Sweet with the slightest bit of butterscotch
TEXTURE 




Very thin skin with crunchy, grainy, and juicy flesh
TASTE 




Fairly bland and watery, some sweetness, a hint of lemon with a mildly bitter peel
OVERALL 




I am not impressed at all with this pear. I suppose it could be good in a salad for texture and juice, but flavor is so boring I fell asleep chewing it. If I wanted crunchy water, I would just eat ice and save my two dollars.

NOTES
I have read that these can be very sweet pears, likened to Verner’s gingerale. Mine were nothing like that, but maybe I’ll give them another try if I see them again. Or maybe I won’t as there are just much better pears out there. Who knows.
