Dogfish Head Festina Peche

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

Translucent and pale buffered gold in color with rapid sand storms rising from the bottom to fuel a velvety white head. Aroma adheres to fresh, doughy pastries with mandarins and lemon chiffon accents hinting at a peach cobbler characteristic. A smidgeon of lemony, cotton like cleanser comes through the Splenda-esque peach yogurt nose. Flavor grants us a sour, peachy vanilla watermelon trait. Cleansing to the palate. Separated biscuit layers conjure the bakery intonations, along with a peach crepe coming apart into two camps: one of flaky crescent toppings, the other one of bakers dough with fruit sauce. Effervescent and medium bodied, fairly delightful to toss around the mouth, finishing with a tart lemon rosemary marmalade jam upon a peach cranberry bread.

wow, really a berliner weisse? i would have pegged this for a fruit beer since the peach and lemon were overpowering. my notes read "funky peach, lemon, wheat, clove, and ginger, with some funky cheese and yeast" opaque yellow-orange color with white head.

Hazy golden with a thin head. Nice tart wheat and sour peach aromas. Smooth with light carbonation. Nice mildly sour pit fruit flavors with tart wheat mirrors the aroma. Not too bad... Draft@ Belmont Station’s Pucker Fest.

Pours a hazy straw yellow color with a quickly dissipating white head. Aroma is musty, tart fruit, and a hint of citrus. Flavor is some peach, some tartness, with a dry semi sweet finish.

Light, tart and refreshing. This is the second Berliner Weisse style beer I have had and I enjoyed both. I appreciate Dogfish Head’s unique approach to brewing, though the dominate peach aroma and flavor masks anything else there may be in this beer. Pours a murky light yellow with a small white head. Aroma is filled with peaches. The flavor is tart peach — kind of like peach-flavored lemonade. Some sweetness in the background. Medium body ans slightly sticky, like lemonade.

Split this between a friend while fishing. Had to try it because ive never had a Berliner Weisse before, i thoroughly enjoyed it. Nice tart funkness in the nose and every sip. Not a whole lot of peach really, but it was there, and balanced the sourness nicely. A good grab for a summer brew that refreshes well, while keeping a good taste at the same time.

From a bottle, pours a hazy copper with little to no head. Aromas of tart lemon and some peachy notes. Taste tart and sweet very wine-like. Definetely worth a try.

12 oz. bottle from The Party Source. Pours a cloudy pale yellow gold color with a small white head that doesn’t last long. There isn’t much to the aroma, some peach, lemon citrus, skunk, and champagne. Nice tart flavor, with peach, lemon citrus, green grapes, lemon juice, and just a little straw and wheat for body. The body is still very light, with a tart, sweet, dry, and acidic mouthfeel. This is my first Berliner Weisse, an interesting introduction to the style.
