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.

12oz bottle into a pint glass. Pours slightly cloudy yellow with a bright white head that’s thick but also bubbly. The aroma is sweet, sour, and champagne with a touch of grape. The flavor is immediately sour then follows with some malt and a hint of yeast, all of which is quite nice. A nice drink leaves the mouth feeling dry and aching for more. I suppose the common complaint is that it’s not all that peachy, but who cares?!

Highly underrated beer. I can understand why people don’t like it but I think it is a gem from DFH, as usual. Unique style that puts many off. On first taste I wasn’t sure what to think but the tartness and overall peculiarity of this beer won me over. I’ll be sad when it is rotated out.

Hopefully I had a bad bottle. This was by far the worst thing I have had from DFH. Tastes like sour peaches. Fizzy carbonation and ridiculously light bodied. Undrinkable.

12 oz bottle. Very unique. It was too sour for me to have more than 3 or so. More fruity than I expected. Not my cup of tea so to speak but overall not bad.

Pours hazy straw colour with a very small head.Aroma is very fresh notes of wheat malt and banana.The flavour is......... well very unique. It is very very sour like a juice concentrate. It has kind of a cool flavour but its too sour to be palatable.. I’m glad I only had one.

Aroma is peaches and sugar with hints of yeast. Taste is heavy on the peach and a litle grainy lemon. Quickly fades into a tart apple/white grape finish that is crisp and quickly gone. The tartness puckers the first sip or two, but quickly mellows and the last half glass is sublimely balanced tarness/fruitiness/dryness. Really nice.
