750ml botte. Poured a pale orange color with a small thin white head that dissipated almost immediately. Nose was a stale peach aroma with a mediciny tones. The first taste is terrible and incredibly sour up front. Mouthfeel was watery and flavor was more cough syrup fruity, which led to a very srange after-taste in the finish.

Bottle. Tart acid peach taste. Citrusy and thin. Not too sweet though which helps this one out.

Tart. I like this beer, I wasn’t sure what to expect but I like it. Pours a hazy orange/yellow. White head that leaves quickly. Peach and a bit sour to the nose.

Tap at Pap. The beginners sour ale I reckon. Color and aroma are anemic though not unappealing. Flavor of peach is slight and tart like Erics Sour Ale. Not quite refreshing, but certainly not cloying or syrupy. Skol!

Pours a cloudy orangish-golden color. THe head is white, fizzy, small, and extremely short lived. The aroma has a slight hint of peach with a touch of sourness. Slight sweetness and the forefront but quickly becomes tart with a barest hint of peach. Finishes on the palate with an astringint character.

Sampled from 12-oz bottle and shared by Badgerben. Pours a hazy burnt golden straw brew with a fizzy thin white head that dissipates to a thin ring. Aroma of candi sugar, golden grain malt, some tropical fruit, lemon zest, and a touch of peach. Taste is slightly tart, medium bodied, plenty of carbonation with some flavors of sugar, golden grain malt, some peach, lemon juice and a touch of tart apple. Finish is slightly dry with some tart character.

Aroma of peaches and sharp acid. Flavor is super-tart, with the wheat and peaches combining for an acidic, almost champagne mouthfeel. The tartness is great if you are in the mood for it, which I am, but if I wasn’t this would be an unpleasant beer at best. I really am having a tough time rating this one, so I will have to revisit it in a few weeks to try again. As it stands, here it is.

12oz bottle. hazy golden lemon color. fizzy white head fades fast. sour and acidic nose of peaches and lemon juice. very prickly carbonation hits the palate like champagne. tart and crisp with a sharp clean finish. fruit shows up as a refreshing twist. a fun summer beer or good alternative to a bellini.
