Cloudy pale yellow with the slightest tint of gold. Minuscule spotty head. Smells tart and tangy. Peach, apricot, green apple, sour white grapes. Pretty intense fruit, slightly sweet. Not bad. The initial tart (almost sour) impression leads to developing fruitiness with a touch of sweetness. Tastes of tart apples, apricot and light peach. Lightly tart, bit of an acidic punch, but not too sharp. Actually pretty creamy and smooth despite the apparent high carbonation. Very drinkable and refreshing. Surprising.

Aroma, slightly metallic, and I get a bit of a nice brett nose. color murky gold. Flavor for this beer was spot on, got some peach fruit in finish, tart with some lemon zest. not a big fan of DF and the over the top attitude with beer, but this beer shows a well crafted beer with restraint that makes it shine.

This reminded me a lot of a cider. Poured a cloudy golden lemonade color with a thin white head. Aroma has a little bit of beach to it, but if I didn’t know it was a peach beer I might have had a hard time placing it. Flavor is almost a prefect balance if tart and sweet with some great tart apple, stonefruit/peach flavor. Really light and refreshing. That tart kick quenches wonderfully. Very nice.

Was given a bottle and absolutely loved it. The aroma is a fruity peachy smell, the body is light, much like many wines. While others found this sour, that was not the case for me. Great peach taste to it, not overpowering and I strongly recommend this if you want a beer that has a wine taste to it.

Very fruity. I was expecting a peach version of Aprihop and this is something totally different. The mouthfeel is slightly thin, but the finish is great. It makes a great session beer.

Poured slightly cloudy with a small head. Tasted great with a peach flavor. Smooth and refreshing, great on a hot day.

on tap at redlight redlight. 2009 edition. i dont really get the peaches this year. maybe a little right at the finish. have looked at this bottle in the store numerous times and always passed it up due to silly label and the whole peach thing... sour and way drinkable. reviewed while listening to steely dan at work. a lot of nerds here tonight.
