Bar Harbor Peach Ale

Brewed by Bar Harbor Brewing Company (Atlantic Brewing Company)
Style: Fruit Beer
Bar Harbor, Maine USA

Hard to believe I go from Georgia to visit Maine, where I drink my first peach flavored beer. Poured from the bottle to a light amber color with a thin off-white head that dissipated qquickly and left little lacing. Aroma was a very dominant, sweet peach, and the mouthfeel was sweet and slightly tingly. Flavor was peachy as the name implies, but a little too much on the syrupy sweet side for my liking. Finish was pleasant at first, but in the end, the sweetness came to rule a little too strongly. A nice novelty, but I couldn’t make it a regular.

Easy drinker, not much too think about here. Light, inconspicuous taste, hints of peach, but not too much sweetness. I can see how this would go well with Mexican food.

Well, this one did better than the "True Blue" - a moderate amount of peach aroma, along with herbal/perfume. Taste was malty in the middle with peach syrupy sweetness along the sides. Body was thin, soft carbonation, kind of watery. Didn’t taste like they used real peach.

Deep gold with a thin white head. Aroma of mellow peach, perfumey. Slightly sweet with a peach flavor that lingers.

I hate to pour out a bomber after 2 sips, but drinking it would be far worse. LyndaNova nailed this one perfectly. Beautiful deep amber crystal clear pour, small tan head that vanishes immediately with no lacing ... consistent with thin and watery mouthfeel. Nose of sweet malts, peaches, and floral hops. Taste is nasty ... sweet malts, light peach fruit, artifidial perfume overtones. Thin and nasty in the mouth. Just poured it out after a third sip.

Bottle: Clear orange with a thin white head, sweet peaches in the aroma, medium bodied with light carbonation, starts and ends sweet with a lingering peach taste.

Cold 22oz bottle: Pours a clear amber color with light tan bubbles around the edges. Aroma is of peaches and sweet malts. Taste is of sweet malts, perfume and light fruit. Watery texture.

Any first impressions?
-A big-bubbled head dwindles to thin veil over the transparent russet.
-Sweet peach syrup takes over the nose.
-That mineral yeast again nags the toasted maltiness and peachy sweetness.
-Large, fluffy bubbles and the rotund, sweet body form a satisfying mouthfeel.

What if you dig deeper?
-This singular flavor profile would be another of their beers to be paired with spicy food.
-Peachy fruitiness goes into cherry territory at times.
-This is the same gimmick as their True Blue Blueberry Ale, and their Ginger Mild, just another kind of flavoring. Yawn.

Bottle; no date.
