Lothore (276), California, USA May 2, 2009 A- Pours a golden hue with a thin head that dissipates quickly.
S- Lots of peach, mild yeasty esters.
T- Big Peach upfront with a wheaty malt backbone. slightly metallic aftertaste.
M- Thin with quite a bit of carbonation riversideAK (2648), Shoreline, Washington, USA Oct 18, 2007 Hazy orange color. Aroma is peach and grainy maly. Flavor is some metalic notes with some bitterness and some peach. Light body. Crisp finish with a wierd lingering metal flavor. Without the metal it would be much better. KingpinIPA (842), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA Apr 5, 2007 Transparent, yellow color. Smell of peach, malt, oranges, strawberies, and some hops. Taste of peaches, honey, hops, light malt, grass and a nice bitterness. I am very surpised how good this goes down. After a little bit more warmong up, I can also taste some pine and orange peal. I got a little of a soapy aftertaste at the end. I will have some more in summer. hopdog (5525), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 23, 2006 12oz bottle. Opened to a loud pssst and poured witha huge off white head. Settled into a medium orange / amber color. Aromas of fresh peaches. Not artificial (as I close my eyes and smell, I can picture holding a fresh peach). I don’t normally like peaches, but I can safely say this one smelled good. Tastes of peaches (not as strong as the aroma). Started out lighlty sweet and ended lightly sour. Thinner body and somewhat over carbonated (as evident with the way it opened). chimpscampee (556), Madison, Wisconsin, USA Jun 29, 2006 Updated: Aug 18, 2007Not too sweet like most belgian ales using lots of fruit. Wonderfully dry, bitter, hopped pale ale with peach flavor that is just right balance-- strong but not overwhelming the pale ale taste. Maybe the pits and skin give it that nice bitterness. Drink this one chilled. Frothy head. Can quench thirst but also as a sipper. Sometimes the first chilly smell and sip gives me a pleasant fleeting head rush that is hard to describe. Great change of pace. Classic lawnmowing brew. Perhaps too much carbonation. Brenan chain in Wisconsin may be only place to get it. StewardofGondor (1934), Washington Heights - Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA Apr 6, 2006 Mostly translucent and fiery gold in color with a foamy, tight-packed tan head. Peach juice squeezed from the can leaps at the sinuses, pursued by dried apricot pieces that bring me back to toddler years, along with some sugary nectarine juice with peach jolly ranchers slowly diffusing. Peaches (imagine that) emasculate the flavor as expected, yet they inhibit a husky quality, spiffed by a curt bitter element that’s immediately pinned to the roof of the mouth. Substantive cohabitation is completely comprised of a musky pils quality. Peaches wrapped in tamale husks and faded grass stains curtail on the coattails. The formula works, save the hop profile, but it’s best to not throw caution in the wind and leave this within a child’s arm reach. DavidP (1743), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA Nov 30, 2005 Bottle purchased at Brennan’s. Cloudy wit-like yellow body with a big fluffly white head. Smells just like ripe peaches with a touch of mandarin orange tartness thrown in. Good flavor - lightly malted blonde ale base with the less-sweet elements of peach on top - skin and the woody pit. I’m sure there weren’t any pits in their peach extract but that’s what I taste. I appreciate how it’s not overly-sweet which makes for a refreshing, crisp beer. Nice job! muzzlehatch (4427), Burlington, Vermont, USA Nov 2, 2005 12 oz bottle. What a surprise that I’m only the third reviewer of this Cali beer, and the other two are in Wisconsin! Immense fluffy, bubbly white head topping an almost clear peach-juice body....very fresh, fruity nose with hints of biscuit underneath and a mild grassiness, clean and nice...the body is quite interesting, sweet peachy juice interacting with a fair amount of strong sprucy hoppiness, very zesty towards the finish, touch of dryness in the center really crushes the potentially syrupy fruitiness at the finish...solid medium-full body. Not incredibly complex, but vastly better than the average in the style, with no real faults.
