Sweet and sour sweet tart like grossness not as bad as buffalo bills version but really bad. Why bother?

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.

Had this at the end of the summer so my memory may be as cloudy as this beer was. Faint fruity aroma didn’t prepare me for the sour peach wheat beer taste. If I remember correctly, got better as I allowed it to warm up (strange for a summer beer) bringing out the taste more. Was a cloudy peach colour.

Didn’t love this when I tried it last summer, but like it more as I’ve gotten into sour beers. This has a pleasant sour taste, which may turn many drinkers off. Pours hazy golden with orange tint and a white head. Aroma is more orange peel and fresh lemon juice than peach, but peach is there, too. A little bit of sulphur on the nose, but not in a bad way. Very carbonated, contributing to a "pop rocks" moment during tasting. Sour yeasty peach and cava flavors and a dry finish. Almost has a gueuze-like quality in its sour, almost vinegary dry finish. The more I drink this beer, the more I really enjoy it. Highly underrated beer.

Bottle.. Small fizzy white head that mostly diminished, spotty amounts of lacing, lively, fast rising carbonation, cloudy, and a pale yellow hue. The nose was sweet and peaches and not a lot at that. The flavor was sweet, sour, peaches, tart, and finishes dry. Tingly, dry mouthfeel and light in body. Too tart and sour for my liking and not one of their better beers IMMHO. Not one I want again.

July 2007 - Orange pour, little head or lacing, cloudy. Flavor of peach flavored dish soap. Nice wheaty base with a perfect fruityness so as not to be overdone but yet refreshing. Sour finish. Good beer.
