Sounds like Scrumpy to me and reminded me of my student days in Bristol, locally mdae scrumpy was 25p a liter, bring your own container, certainly had a few hangovers the next morning.

Ok since I don't drink alcohol is this cider alright for me.
I'm confused because one post said they add corn syrup or other sugars so I don't know which is which.

In this case, cider is alcohol. A lot of alcoholic ciders in the US are sweetened to be more like alcopops and have a more mass appeal.

FIFY .... I presume that "pear cider" is just another step in the progressive dumbing-down of our language.

Sounds nothing like scrumpy to me which is the unfiltered juice of apples which are left almost to the point of rotting before being crushed. When I was a child, a nearby apple farm used to have large stacks of crated apples awaiting being turned into scrumpy, and I could never believe how rough they looked.

That's one of the odd things here. The feds require you use picked, fresh apples. No windfalls no manky ones.

Similar to a farmer in the US not being able to sell deer, rabbits, or anything else shot on his property, though he can eat them himself.
