Dogfish Head Festina Peche

Brewed by Dogfish Head Brewery
Style: Berliner Weisse
Milton, Delaware USA

Bottle sent by DrBayern - I had been wanting to try this for a long time and finally acquired one through trade. Poured this into the closest glass I had to a "bowl" style glass. Looked a hazy yellowish with no head. Kind of Hoegaarden-esque. Smell was very underwhelming with some very faint perhaps peachy smells that I wouldn’t have picked up if I didn’t know what it was, along with an almost skunky yeast smell. Very unique to me as it was also my 1st of the style. Taste was dry very bland peachy flavor up front, followed by a noticeable tartness in the mouth and then a definite wheaty finish to it. Very different, and although drinkable, not the easiest beer to enjoy. Perhaps just the style, but this lacked almost any sweetness at all and as a result almost none of the flavors were brought out very well. Extremely mild and tart. Rerate - Much more flavorful, and the fruitiness shined, and the tartness was very thirst quenching. Really enjoying this style now, and I liked the dry fruity complementing flavor to this style. Would like to have again.

12 oz bottle courtesy of Schroppfy. Pours a cloudy unfiltered yellow color with a medium white head that quickly dissipates. The aroma is light with faint peaches and limes. The flavor is sour forward with lemons, grass, and sour grapes. The mouthfeel is light and malty without being thin and watery; carbonation is lively and prickly. The finish is long with lingering sour grapes. Overall: I really loved this beer, this is a great summer beer. I have really been getting into sours lately so this really hit the spot.

some tart peach aroma with lemon as well. hazy soft yellow, seems darker gold near the top of the glass, and a hazier straw at the bottom. saints be praised! that’s good! (mind you, i used to do shots of lemon juice in my grandma’s kitchen) fiercely tart up front, matched quickly with the soft wheat, and finishes dry and clean, only to spike again with the next sip. i had mine with breakfast, you should too.

Drank a four pack of these at a football tailgate. This is the perfect summer beer. It reminds me of Clearly Canadian peach. It doesn’t smell the best when you first open it. The taste is very peachy on the front and a sour aftertaste. This beer is much better than the DFH Aprihop. Overall, a nice summer refreshing beer.

Highly carbonated pour. Wonderful cloudy peach colored! Almost pink! I shit you not! not much aroma but you can pick up a trace of the sweetness and peaches. The flavour is outstanding lots of fizz and peach all the way! and a sourness, not like a saison or jolly pumpkin, you know like sour bread. But, more like a sour patch kid or a crybaby gumball. It truely is remakeable. DFH gets better with evry beer I have they push the boundries on almost evry brew they make. This isnt world changing but godamn if it isnt unique and enjoyable. CHEERS!!!!!!!&#

Pours a clear, light gold with a thin whispy head. Subtle peach aroma. A sour/tart flavor jumps out, definitely a Berliner. Subtle peach flavor too. Light body, crisp finish. Nice peach Berliner.

Pours a golden-peach with a moderate white head. Nose is fruity, citrus, and fairly tart for a berlinerweisse. Taste is very bright, refreshing, peaches, lemon zest, a hint of sourness, hint of strawberry, tart, with green grapes.

12 oz bottle. Peach is barely noticeable in the nose. I smell mostly just wheat. Nice hazy gold color with no head. Very tart! Peach flavor is very prominent, sour. Tartness lingers on the back of the tongue. Never had a Berliner Weisse before, but I’m eager to try more.
