I’ve tried this numerous times hoping that it would be different from the first. The nose not so bad with almost a peach skin aroma. The carbonation level is okay and mouthfeel is not bad. What i can’t get over is the overwhelming flavor of rotten peaches. To me it is overwhelming rotten fruit and i can’t drink it.

Big thanks to jjpm74 for the bottle. Looks good, the beer in the glass is very normal. Foam disappears very fast. Sourish and dry aroma. Starts very dry, modest fruity. The finish is very sourish. Reminds me of gose - really not bad!

Dogfish Head Festina Peche is a hazy yellow ale with Peach sediment and a very attractive white head. The aroma is a very natural and refreshing peach. However, this is an uber sweet weisse with a flavor that is almost gritty.

Light-colored and cloudy in appearance. Very actively carbonated, almost like champagne, but the head dissipates quickly. Flavor is predominantly sour, with some peach flavor. Refreshing and interesting, but I wouldn’t probably have it again.

12 oz bottle. pours muddy and dull morning-after pee yellow. head was bubbly and sprite-like, but disappeared just as quickly as a pop does. The aroma is barely present, showing muted white peaches and coriander. The taste is rather accurate for the befitting name. i’m just not sure which came first. It’s more of a fruit beer than it is a weisse. furthermore, unlike any other dfh, where’s the hops? i was kinda hoping for a hoppy wheater. all in all, it’s rather 1D, and perhaps i should retaste it at another time.

This was, without doubt, the least impressive beer I’ve had from this brewery. 10 karat color with small off-white head. Mostly Florida Orange and missing the Georgia Peach...lemon sourness also evident. Wish it was more complex and easy on the palate.
