I haven't tried Ace Pear but I did just finish up a batch of pear cider about 3 weeks ago. I used Knudsen's Pear Juice (it is available at Food Lion chain grocery stores and most Health Food stores). Their juices are 100% juice, pasturized, with nothing else. They have a wide variety of juices too. They are kind of pricey but watch for a sale (not that much more than others).
As for my batch, it was my first non-apple batch and I pitched a champagne yeast, let it go for a week and bottled with a little sugar. I only did a half gallon (just to try it out). I cracked a bottle last night to check for carbonation. It has a great golden color and is very dry (and potent:cross: ). It still needs to age as it is a bit harsh (and hasn't completely cleared). But, the pear taste definitely comes through. I think I would prefer it a bit sweeter so next time I will probably resweeten with some more juice or a little lactose. Hope this helps.
