12oz bottle. Not really my thing but really not that bad for a fruit beer. Very tart and light almost like a hard cider.

Whenever I throw a meet the brewer party with dogfish head beers with some friends this is the beer I always start with. Its very light highly carbonated beer that everyone even those people who claim they don’t like beer. Pours a pail gold color no head and smell of peach and citrus. Taste is tart with a peach finish. This beer is very easy to drink.

Not my favorite from the Dogfish Brewery. Pours a hazy, golden color with no head. Aroma has a little peach and lemon. Upon tasting its extremely tart....like bting into a lemon. At first, I hated it...but upon drinking it grew one me. Not too interesting...after the tartness there isn’t much there.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a pale yellow with no head at all. The nose is very light with hints of peach, euro lager, and a touch of earth. Not very inspiring. Medium carbonation with a medium light mouthfeel. Extremely tart! Not what I was expecting at all. Mouth puckering tartness with light peach notes. Almost like a sour patch kid minus the sweetness. Strangely there doesn’t seem to be much taste wise once you get past the tartness. Amazingly short finish. Bizarre and not all that good. All sour and nothing else.

Pours similar to a witbier in color and head. Definite peach noticable in the aroma, along with a somewhat artificial scent, similar to crayon wax. Somewhat easy drinking. Tart, yet not over the top sour. Sour apple, lemon, sprizy. I think my wife would like this. Not bad for what it is. Not as impressive as the Fitgers offering, which was my only other rating within this style.

Sour, champagnelike aroma... Cloudy yellow in color... Flavor is sour with some hints of peach, almost like a lambic.... Sister didn’t even know it was beer... Leaves a sour flavor on the palate... Good beer if you are into tart beers...

Bottle Pours a clear straw color with a small white head. The head fades fairly quickly. Produces decent lacing. Has a sour fruity aroma. Has a decent carbonation. The flavor is on the sour side. Has a decent lemon, peach taste to it. Has a dry texture like a tart lemonade. A light body. The finish is strong and tart. Lingering aftertaste is not bad.
