Bottle. My first experience with this style of beer. Pours a pale, watered down looking golden body with a small fizzy white head. Musty, sour aroma with some fruity malty notes. Flavor is very tart, with some decent sweetness. Light bubbly mouthfeel. Not really getting any hint of peach in this beer. Not what I expected from this style. Interesting.

Very light yellow with a thin white head. Aroma is a bit stinky. I can handle a bit of bottle stink if it goes away quickly, but this hardly smells like anything. There is some sweetness, but mostly carbon dioxide. Flavor is water and vinegar. I can’t drink this. This is an epic fail from Dogfish Head, a brewery that I thought I respected. But you have to wonder if they taste this stuff before they sell it.

Huge sour tart nose with a riesling type waft. Pours see thru sparkling yellow with almost no head but plenty of bubbles, the beer is almost clear. Balanced carbonation with a crisp finish a lighter body. I enjoy the flavor but honestly I don;t see where the peaches are... I might be missing something. Flavor is tart, intense and very white wine in nature. almost like a sparkling beer if you will. There is some subtle notes of peach on the back when ti warms up a tad. I really enjoy this. Just wish for more peach up front....

Appearance: Pours a pastel, deviled egg yellow with a rapidly subsiding head. Aroma: Wheaty grain and sour dough. Taste: Lemons, tart raspberries, grain and tart, unripe peaches. Mouthfeel: Thin and slighly puckering. Overall: Refreshing, crisp, tasty, not as peachy as I imagined it to be.

tap @ The Shepherd & The Knucklehead Pub. Cloudy light golden pour. Tried so hard to get an aroma sniffed up some beer into my nose. beer is very light with slight sour notes. First sip was the best, Easy summer drinking beer if you enjoy sours.

Too sour to be enjoyable for most. DO NOT purchase this for a house party unless you know specifically that people like this beer. What is it with DFH making sour beers? Have not had too much from them that isn’t rocket fuel or unpalatable from sourness.

On tap, Downtown Bar in Bkly. Delicious, tart, lactic, not too peachy. No head. Really lovely and after the tartness passes, has a nice complexity.
