A LITTLE WEIRD BUT OVERALL IT WORKED FOR ME. THE PEACH TASTE WAS PRESENT BUT NOT OVERWHELMINGLY SWEET. IT ID MEDIOCRE AT BEST FOR DOGFISH HEAD.

Bottle. Hazy yellow coloured with a huge but fast disappearing white head. Fruity aroma of spices, yeast and peaches. Fruity flavour of peaches, lactic acid and spices with acidic notes. Tart finish.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of SoLan. Hazy pale golden with a tall and very lively off-white head that works itself out of the bottle. Tart lactic aroma. Light-bodied, astringently tart with a whiff of peach. Overly carbonated. Astringent lactic tartness. 131108

Hazy yellow color with a very thin head. Aroma of peach skins and a little marshmallow. Mallow continues to taste. Light tart malt and a bit of lemon. Can’t pick up much wheat. Enjoyable.

The aroma on this beer was indeed very sour, with some peach aroma and cereal grains. The appearance was a pale straw color, samall white head. The flavor was just like the aroma; a mixture of sourness, wheat/grain, and peaches. The sourness is overwhelming here. The finish is like a dry white wine; sour, not sweet, and no hops to speak of. I guess I just don’t appreciate this style, but I don’t like this beer at all.

Ridiculously foamy pour, thought I was drinking a soda instead of a beer. Super carbonated with a somewhat artificial tasting peach flavor. Too malty and sour, but not godawful for a fruit beer.

12 oz bottle in trade from daknole- thanks! Served in pint glass- poured entirely foamy- settled down to a semi translucent pale yellow-orange color, high carbonation, head was everywhere from the first pour- quite a show watching it settle down. Aroma of lemons, malt, corn, and weak peaches. Hits the mouth with a low-medium body, malt is there but very underlying, strange artificial peach taste comes in- mildly tart, carbonation on the tongue very noticeable in the middle, finishes like a spritzer. Don’t know if I got a bad bottle and it’s the first time with the style- more down the line...

I had about a case and a half of this over the summer and couldn’t get enough. Had to drive about 6 hours to get and well worth it. Very much a berliner weisse, tart, refreshing, funky and tasty. thank you dogfish once again.
