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.

12 oz bottle. Peach is barely noticeable in the nose. I smell mostly just wheat. Nice hazy gold color with no head. Very tart! Peach flavor is very prominent, sour. Tartness lingers on the back of the tongue. Never had a Berliner Weisse before, but I’m eager to try more.

Bottle. Sharp sour and fruity beer. Simple in it’s own unique way. Refreshing.

On tap at The Bier Stein in Eugene, OR. Poured a pale yellow with a white head. Not used to such a "light" beer from Dogfish. Light peach flavor backed with subtle citrus flavor. Nicely done beer, just not really my style.

12oz bottle. Pale yellow with a frothy white head that leaves some light lasting foam. The aroma is primarily an impression of peach yoghurt with some wheat crackers in the background. The flavor is dry and tart with the same yoghurt impression and a nice peachy fruitiness that is not sweet and annoying like I feared it might be. Light with ample carbonation. Feels good in the mouth for a light quaffer. A little clean for a berliner, but about as drinkable as possible.

I had this from the bottle. This tasted akin to club soda so not the best of this style I have tasted and I got very little peach from it. Light and clear straw color with a very small head. Kind of a urine aroma. Flavor is somewhat bland, light mouth feel. I will finish what I bought, but will have to think about buying more.
