Very good for a fruit beer and way better than the Aprihop. A great lighter beer with a taste of peaches all the way through. A nice balance of sweetness and tartness. Finishes smoothly.

DFH went out on a limb to succeed with this berliner weisse. I paired it very well with 2 year old chedder and sausage. The right amount of peach flavor. Very good.

They weren’t joking about peaches in this. You get it from the first hint of the aroma to the last drop in the glass. The color is a nice golden orange, with heavy amounts of carbonation. There is a moderately large white head. The flavor is clearly peaches, the beer finishes very crisply. This is quite easy to drink.

Milky yellow with soap sudsy head. Aroma of grassy hops, peach. Kind of earthy. Wow, this is tart! Flavor is very sour and overpowering with mild sweetness on the back end. A touch watery and astringent.

Poured at the Lupulin Reunulin event at the Brickskellar. Cloudy, rosy, slightly hazy yellow with zero head. Aroma is sour, tart, wheaty, with some grapefruit and yogurt. Flavor is extremely tart, grapes, wheat, lemons and sweet tarts. Finish is overly sour. This is a little too tart, a little too much lacto flavor, and in typical DFH fashion goes a bit over the top.

12 oz bottle courtesy of Schroppfy. Pours a cloudy unfiltered yellow color with a medium white head that quickly dissipates. The aroma is light with faint peaches and limes. The flavor is sour forward with lemons, grass, and sour grapes. The mouthfeel is light and malty without being thin and watery; carbonation is lively and prickly. The finish is long with lingering sour grapes. Overall: I really loved this beer, this is a great summer beer. I have really been getting into sours lately so this really hit the spot.

Hazy yellow, nice white head. Big lemon kick up fornt in aroma, faint peach, yeasty background. Flavor again lemon up front, mouth puckering, faint peach, wheat and pils malt. Spritzy-dry finish. Highly sessionable brew overall.

12oz: light malt aroma with unfermented peaches that is not at all "winey". Pours a pale hazy yellow. Small white head that quickly fades to nothing. A little malt taste up front that quickly turns to tart peaches. The tart bite lingers kind of puckering the mouth. overall an enjoyable beer that is a little one dimentional- sour peaches, peaches, peaches
