I thought I didn’t like this beer when it first entered my mouth because I was surprised by how sour it was. But now this is my standard summer brew, it might be the most refreshing drink I know.

12 ounce bottle from Wine Warehouse in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a slightly hazy lemon yellow color with a medium head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma is tart and bready with citrus notes. Taste is tart with strong peach and citrus notes. Medium bodied. Quite nice and fairly refreshing.

Pours with a golden hue with a fluffy white head that is mostly diminishing. Aroma is very yeasty, spicy, lots of citrus, and has a lot of pineapple in the nose. Flavor is watery in the beginning, with a sour, tart, peach, and citrus ending. Medium mouthfeel with lively carbonation. A suprisingly good brew!

Draft. Pours a hazy straw/melon yellow. White peach with an astringent layer. The peach flavors are nice but not really integrated into the beer.

Had no idea this was a weisse--tasted like a standard sour to me. The color is a bit off putting, a light lemon with essentially no head. The aroma is of faint fuzzy peach. The extreme sourness others claim was definitely not present, however. The taste is of tart peaches and a bit of lemon, but nothing overwhelming. This beer is crisp and refreshing, making it a great summer beer.

Extremely pale yet extremely cloudy. Aroma is mostly of malts and peach extract. Has a very bitter flavor. Wow! Almost as if a bunch of warheads were put in while this was brewing. It’s weird but works out pretty well. Definitely has a bite in the end. Not sure what to think about this one. I think I like it.

I really only got this bottle for the rare style and the unique Dogfish Head bottle. This beer pours like water and is colored like a lemon jolly-rancher sat at the bottom and dissolved. Head is small, nearly non-existent white color with an OK body for a Berliner. Wasn’t confronted with strong peach aromas but the flavor leaves a very distinguishable peach flavor and mouthfeel. A good session beer if you can stand the sour flavor, but for a stout guy, this beer one brew was refreshing.

(bottle) golden colour, faint hard (for me) to define aroma, taste is weakish, sour beer, not much fruit, clean short finish - at the first try rather unattractive
