English Cider Pear. Generally smaller and greener than other pears. Pears grow in clusters along the entire branch and are almost decorative. Despite the name- this pear is not used for Gin making and may be a reference to its flavor- a slight juniper flavor comes from higher tannic acid content in the pear. The pear is quite juicy and is most commonly used for cider making.
