jimbowood (738), Athens, Georgia, USA Sep 30, 2008 draft @ the brewpub. Nothing special. Just a beer with peaches or peach extract. Nuff said. nbutler11 (222), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Aug 29, 2008 As far as fruit beers go, this one is incredible. Pours a rich golden color from the tap at Four Peaks with floral peaches on the nose that explode in the flavor. Layered and textured to the point where you virtually feel the peach fuzz on your palate. How this isn’t their flagship beer ahead of Kilt Lifter is beyond my comprehension. DenverLogan (421), Oceanside, California, USA May 25, 2008 Light gold, small head. Big peach aroma. More body than the wheat...significant peach in taste and aroma. Not a lot of body...light, refreshing. On tap at brewery. kramer (1888), sunbury, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 23, 2007 Growler, via BA tayner. Pours a slightly hazy yellow gold with a nice one finger fizzy bright white head that slowly receded to a thin film. The nose is fresh ripe peaches at the height of the season, backed by some bready and doughy malt. The flavor was really pretty nice up front, like fresh juicy peaches or those peach ring gummi candies. Towards the finish though the peach flavor tasted like over-ripe peaches, kind of like the deeply bruised spots you get with peaches that are nearing the end of their shelf life. Bready and doughy malt with light fluffy yeast provide the base. Mouthfeel is light bodied with pleasant fizzy carbonation and a slight lingering sweetness. Overall, I thought that this was pretty decent, the peaches tasted pretty natural. ajm (372), California, USA Nov 12, 2007 I like this beer very much, tipping to the lighter end of the spectrum myself. The nose is healthy and full of peach - much what you’d expect from a brew roughly the color of peach juice. A great peach flavor in mid-palatte, ending with a slightly jarring bit of hoppiness. Seems like it could benefit from a higher percentage to keep it at least tangy instead of slightly bitter.
