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.

SOUR TART AROMA COMING OUT OF THIS BEER, CLOUDY PALE COLOR WITH NO HEAD , IF I DIDNT KNOW BETTER BEFORE TASTING IT I WOULD THINK IT WAS FEMENTED APPLE JUICE. TASTES PREDOMINATELY SOUR TART FLAVOR NOT OVERPOWERING BUT SORT OF LIKE A SOUR APPLE CANDY, ONLY NOT VERY SWEET AT ALL, BESIDES THAT THERES NOT MUCH ELSE GOING ON WITH IT CANT REALLY TASTE THE PEACH MORE OF A LEMON ZEST, GOES DOWN EASY BUT THERE ARE MANY BETTER FRUIT BEERS OUT THERE. I LOVE DOGFISH HEAD BUT IM NOT SO IMPRESSED BY THIS BREW. I SHOULD HAVE GUESSED WITH THE WORDS "MALT BEVERAGE" AND PEACH "CONCENTRATE" ON THE LABEL. HOWEVER SINCE THIS IS A BERLINER WEISSE, I GUESS IT IS EXACTLY WHAT IT SHOULD BE, ONLY NOT MY STYLE, ILL HAVE TO TRY IT AGAIN IN A FEW YEARS.
