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

year old bottle. pours cloudy yellow with a huge but quickly fading bubbly white head. very light peach scent, with a bit of grassy hops and a decent pale malt smell. lots of vegetality in the smell. some wheat, and a bit of something that reminded me of being in a damp forest. the malt sort of dominates the taste, with again that light grassy hop bit, with some more vegetable, and just the slightest hint of peach. moderate sour finish, dry and woody. quite bubbly, light body, sort of watery creamy mouthfeel, if that makes sense. that is, it actually had a mouthfeel, but it went down easily. quite refreshing, and pretty enjoyable, though i’d like it better but for that vegetal bit in the smell.

Smells like a tart peach. This has a very pronounced tart bite. The peach turns my stomach a little bit. Okay.

Bottle courtesy of MDS- Thanks Mike! Decants hazy, cloudy yellow with a generous frothy white cap, with good sediment at the bottom of the glass.The aroma is heavily yeasty with sour lemons/limes and grapefruit and a barnyard/wet blanket sort of profile and a smidgen of apricot. The taste is full on tart yeasty peaches with white grapes, hay and a sour funk. Finishes astringent, puckering , bitter and tart, creamy yet dry. Low in alcohol and as a result, I could drink a lot of this. Excellent. Thanks Mike!

Pours a super cloudy yellow with oodles of white foamy head. Aroma of peaches, tartness, yeast and champagne. Taste is very tart, with an acidic peach sourness that finishes making your tongue pucker along with a nice peach aftertaste. I’ve had this fresh and had it 1 year old. (this review) and actually like it better old, it’s really changed a lot. That said it’s still not that great.

Bottle. Pours pale and hazy orange/pink with a thin white head. Light, crisp body. Flavor is tart, almost sour, like a fruit that isn’t yet ripe, with notes of peach and apricot. Not bad.

Bottle shared by Fordest, he seems to think Dogfish Head is the greatest thing since sliced bread, o.k. it is pretty good stuff. Pours amber with a white head. Aroma of tart peach and flavors is pretty much the same tart peach.
