Bottle. Thanks to TomDecapolis for sharing. Pours a cloudy pale yellow body with thin head. Sweet sour apple aroma - grapes, light citrus. Taste is slightly sour, light granny smith apple, light citrus - fruity. Sweet tart flavor - reminded me of the "smarties" candy. Can taste a little of that peach syrupy taste that you get from cans of peaches. Enjoyable. Very impressed this came from Dogfish Head. Look forward to seeing these bottles on the shelves.

Poured a cloudy golden color, with a thin white head. Had a tart taste of peaches, lemon, and other citrus fruit, spices, and finished like a hefeweizen, sweet and bland. Had a weird feeling in the mouth of how the carbonation and sourness reacted. Thanks for sharing Dragonstout.

This is a terrific beer. Crisp and tart without being too tart like some gueuze and also without the sticky sweetness of some sour ales. Simple, clean, and utterly refreshing. I don’t understand the low ratings...are people expecting a pale ale when they drink this or something?

On tap at Capones. Poured a cloudy orange/yellow that you can’ see through with white head that lasted a second. Aroma of peaches, citrus, and hops. More fruit than anything. Very carbonated fruity taste. Peaches, oranges, and lemon flavors all came though. The finish was a little harsh of carbonation. I think it needed to mellow out a little bit longer. Very good different brew though.

12 oz bottle. Pours hazy light yellow color. Very thin aroma... yeasty... the peaches don’t come through much. The taste on this one blew me away though. Unique. Nice sourness to it, strong peachiness. The finish is a little more subdued... citrus peel, yeast... more hefeweizen. Be careful with this one, it’s tricky. ;-) My favorite DFH.

Not my favorite Dogfish Head. Nice, cloudy yellow color, not really a head on it. Very tarty and peachy smell. The taste of peach is out there, and it’s a little sour. Not bad to try. Not one of my favorites.

One of my new favorites ... light golden, unfiltered yellow. Wonderful, unassuming peach flavors but plenty of lactic acid flavors. If you like sours this is a wonderful balanced beer.
