Pear brandy

We visited Total Wine this evening and purchased the German-import "Fidelitas Williams Pear" pear brandy (~$27).

It burns and does not really taste much like pear...wondering if this represents a good/bad brandy.

Clear Creek Distillery in Portland, Oregon, makes a "eau de vie de poire": both with and without a pear in the bottle : o )

They also have a $5 mini bottle sampler, which might give me an idea of how the good/bad nature of the German import.
