Additional Notes:  FieldBird’s 2019 Lazy Whistle smells pungent, but it is actually a smoother cider to consume, so don’t let the initial sniffs scare you off. This is an earthy perry – featuring dewy earth, bruised fruit and even a hint of black pepper notes. Starts more funky than it ends. The pears within are soft and delicate. Tastes a lot lighter than the 7%.
