Cider Crate Tasting Notes:
Smell: Medium aroma. Juicy pear with acidity + acetic kombucha.
Initial Taste: Medium bite from acidity. Juicy, semi-candied bartlett pear. Acetic/vinegar notes, presumably from kombucha.
After Taste: Pear becomes earthier, more gritty. Some mild tea notes come through. Mostly clean finish.
On ice: Watered down. Smoother, mostly pear notes come through.
Additional Notes: Drink Lab’s second Kombucha-infused release is the Pearbucha, made with pears and apples, along with green-tea based Kombucha. With little carbonation, it’s all flavour and kombucha elements with minimal body. You get some vinegar notes as per the standard kombucha experience. Pear starts more candied + juicy becomes more earthy, tea-like in finish.
