12 oz. bottle. The comparison that they make on the bottle to a Pinot Grigio is very fitting I think. A very dry beer with a sour finish is refreshing and would go great with some good food.

Bottle pours a pale straw color with a thin white head. Has a sour aroma with hints of tartness. Taste is more tart and sour than what I was expecting. Overall just an ok brew.

This was a nice tasting beer. It pours a bright golden colour with a big head. A very nice wheat aroma follwed up by peach, honey and coriander. A light silky mouthfeel with a lingering peach-apricot finish. Very pleasent :)

12oz bottle poured into a pint. Nose is sharply tart and lightly peachy with hints of lemon. Very pale in the glass almost looks like a bud or other crappy lager. Flavor is highly refreshing and much better than my score might suggest. Sharply tart the peach comes through a little but the lemon tartness dominates, the fermentation has really brought out an almost wild yeasty tart and sour finish thats extremely refreshing. I like it alot but its not going to score very high as its pretty one dimensional.

Just picked up this years release. A tart beer with a bit of peach aroma and taste to counter the tartness. A bit of a daring beer as it is not like anything I’ve had before. Hops are almost non-evident. A nice beer but not one I will go out of my way to find. The only DFH my 22 yr old daughter will drink.

12 oz. pours a hazey yellow with little head. aroma is sweet and tart with hints of citrus. mouthful is fizzy and tart. very refreshing and puckering in a pleasant way. such a twist on a wheat summer brew.

Bottle. Yellow with a big head that disappeared almost instantly. Foggy haze. Super sweet fruity aroma. Sweet-tart flavors with a crisp peachy undertone. Insanely refreshing at first, but as the bottle goes it left my mouth more and more puckered. As my wife said, it has an unwelcome acidic vomit flavor. I wouldn’t totally avoid this one, especially on hot days, but the tart acid finish didn’t leave me wanting more right away.
