Bottle thanks to ditmier. Pours a hazy orange with a white head. The aroma is quite tart; a strong sweet peach soaked in vodka. The taste is really dry with a ton of tartness and some strong peach currents. I like it, but there is a artifical nature to this beer that really limits it.

12oz Bottle: Pours hazy yellow w/ a massive white head & some sediment in the bottom of the glass. Aroma is of tart yeast & kind of sour. Flavor is sour w/ some sweet peach that comes through briefly. Light body, nice carbonation, dry finish. Fun, light, summer beer.

Bottle. My first taste of a berliner weisse, and had a bit of a cold lingering, so perhaps I will have to re-rate after trying it again. It looked like cloudy country time lemonade with a small white head. A subtle peach aroma without sweetness. No hop character, a hint of peach. Very tart, reminded me of a sour hard candy in liquid form. The aftertaste did not stick and I can’t place a description of it except for the lingering tartness. Overall had a weird, refreshing impression, but not highly drinkable...had to sip it. Very interesting, not overly impressed, but will try again.

12oz bottle. Hazy opaque golden with white head. Very very dry sour peach taste. Certainly unique but I’m not sure how I feel about it overall.

Taste is tart and fruity, the peaches are certainly there. Nothing too extreme or exciting, but refreshing, with a fair amount of residual sweetness. Nice.

poured fizzy yellow with a head that disapated quickly. kind of an ugly beer. aroma was nice, peaches with a yogurty kick. flavor was quite nice, tart, refrehsing, with peaches coming out. pretty dry as well. body is light, but lends to its refreshing qualities. I would drink this all summer if it were mroe affordable. excellent

12 oz bottle poured a cloudy wheat in color with minimal carbination and little foam. smell is dry champagne yeast, wheat, alcohol, and some light fruit. taste is bitter on the tongue, dry, has some light fruit sweetness. The peach shows through but its definitely not over the top. Nice carbonation and smooth and crisp on the mouth. I mean its OK, but a little too much hipe.

I cannot bring myself to like this type of beer no matter what I do. Just not much fun to drink. The peach flavor was nice and the brew seems to have been put together well, but I just didnt like it at all.
