12 oz. bottle. Pours a cloudy yellow with no head. Taste: Peaches (duh) some citrus notes, and a fizzy finish.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy yellow, looks like lemonade with alot of rapidly rising bubbles. Scent of fermenting peaches, taste is very tart and acidic, almost wine like but with a prickly carbonation. Deffinitely different... and not bad i guess.

From the bottle pours a hazy orange with a large head. The aroma is of peaches slightly with some malts. The first sip nails you. I mean, it hits you hard. It is all fruit. It is like drinking peach concentrate. If I liked peaches better I would probably like this. I give an A for credit though.

On tap at Redlight Redlight. This beer pours a clearish hazy yellow and has an aroma of tart peaches with some citrus mixed in. This year the beer is remarkably refreshing and bolder than last year. It is pretty good, similar to a good wheat beer.

12oz Bottle from Sam’s Blue Light, Durham, NC. Pours a champagne foamy head over a cloudy white/yellow. Head dissipates quick. Aroma is tart peach, sweet and reminiscent of brut. Champagne like perlage. Tasts tart and acidic, astringent and pretty refreshing. I almost wouldn’t call it beer. I would serve in a champagne flute and drink it with a fried peach stuffed brie or other soft, delicate, creamy cheese. Aperti?

12 oz bottle courtesy of bvc. Bottled 05 05 2008. Pour is cloudy yellow white - 4 inch pure white head. Bubbly and frothy head. Aroma tart citrus wheat. Some earthiness and funk, but more fresh smelling. Taste is dry, sour peach and wheat. I liked this just as much as last time. Very refreshing. (7,4,8,3,16 - 3.8)

***ORIGINAL RATING 3-June-08***

12 oz purchased from Capone’s in Norristown, PA, bottled in 2006. Pour is hazy white golden with a billowing pure white head. Head falls pretty fast. Initial aroma is a little skunky. After it opens up a bit, aroma is grainy, wheaty and pretty funky. Some real nice earthiness going on. Taste is very tart and acidic. Really easy drinking body, not light really, but certainly at that end of the spectrum. The finish is crisp, tart and has a return of the yeasty funkiness. Nice one, crisp, tart, funky and very refreshing. (8,4,7,3,16 - 3.8)
