Finally, after many months of longing for this beer, my guy at Perry’s carries it so I scooped up a sixer. Very refreshing, bright flavors with a assertive tartness that is quite quenching. The body is a cloudy light orange color, with a light fluffy white head. Subtle carbonation present. Aroma is light wheat with just a hint of sweetness. Flavor is crackling with tartness, and that’s the note that is most prononced. Very soft peach (almost like under-ripe peaches) with a jaw clenching finish. Mouthfeel is prickly and lively. Kudos to DFH.

I’ve had it in bottle and on tap... I’ve enjoyed both...hazy orange with little head.. fruity, sour notes.. I love the balance with the tartness... fun summer beer and easy to drink a lot

12 oz Bottle -- Light cloudy orange with a very thin head. Light refreshing orange and peach on the nose. Very tart on the the attack but almost no peach. A very simple and refreshing beer for the hot summer days.

Pours an opaque school bus orange...just a thin ring of white suds manages to stick around long enough for me to notice. Nose is mostly peach with stale notes, sweet notes, and maybe a touch of tartness. Lactic sourness is extremely strong here, which is nice..the peach flavors are there, not too sweet, but nicely flavorful and sour. The berliner graininess behind everything is still strong enough to be noticed and compliments the sourness nicely. I feel as if the peach is getting in the way of something better...but will we ever know? I actually kind of dig it, though I love berliners...I just think the peach is a distraction.

Extremely sour but tastes nothing like peaches. Not a fan of this beer. Odd flavor and poor mouth feel. Their IPA’s are much better.

Very nice sour beer, the peach is very subtle. The beer is very drinkable, and refreshing. I really enjoyed this one.

Snappy and sour. No peach detected. Tastes like lemon beer. Might be a good beer to use to add to another beer to give it a sour component.
