Formerly brewed at Liefmans (Moortgat)
Style: Fruit Beer
Oudenaarde, Belgium

Clear golden body with a medium foamy white head. Sweet slightly tart peach aroma. Sweet peach flaor with some light tartness and a fizzy mouthfeel.

The aroma is very light but it has peaches, yeast, and malt. The appearance is deep gold with an average foamy head. The palate is smooth. Overall a good beer.

it lacks on the aroma front, the pour is thin and fizzy. the peach is not that dominate, but has slight apricot.

Bottled. Beer is clear, medium caramel-brown colored. Head is initially large, frothy, white. Diminishes quickly, mostly lasts. Peaks of stubby lacing on the glass.<P>First impression on the nose is less soda-like than it’s siblings, but still not winsome. Malty with light notes of toasted grain, trace of biscuity caramel; Hoppy with a trace of herbal resin; Yeasty with light notes of plastic, basement; Moderate artificial peach note.<P>The flavor is heavily sweet, lightly acidic with a longish, moderately sweet, trace acidic finish. Honey in the retronasal notes.<P>The body is medium, the texture is syrupy and the carbonation is lively.<P>Pass.

2005 bottle. Head is initially large, frothy, white, mostly lasting. Body is hazy medium to dark yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (toasted grain), lightly to moderately yeasty (cobwebs, basement, barnyard), with notes of nectarine/peach candy and honey. Flavor is moderately to heavily sweet, lightly acidic. Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Medium body, watery/syrupy texture, lively carbonation. A bit more serious and beery than their Fruitesse line, but still not too interesting.

Bottle. Poured hazy orange brown with a moderate froty white head that mostly lasted and produced good lacing. Heavy sweet preach aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture. Heavy sweet peachy flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. Refreshing beer.

You hear that sound? That’s the sound of bad beer. Can’t hear it? Pop the cork on this brew and you will hear it loud and clear. Good lord this was horrible. This is like peach soda. If I’d wanted a peach soda I would have gone to the soda section at BevMo. UGGHHHH. I really think this is on par with Lindemans line of lambics (except for the incredibly good Cuvee Renee) as being an embarrassment to the name lambic and the style I love. Syrupy sweet with an artifical peach flavor. Sort of like sucking on a piece of peach candy with artifical sweetner added. Nothing really redeemable with this beer. If you like soda-beer, then get this.

Bottle, BevMo in La Mesa. Pours a medium amber color. Aroma is like acidic champagne. Syrupy sweetness with a quite a bit of peach going on. A hint of grain is present along with a little bit of tartness. Obviously a little sweet for most, but I like it.
