Mill Street Peche Belgian Wheat

Brewed by Mill St. Brewery
Style: Fruit Beer
Toronto, Canada

Draught at C’Est What Spring Festival. Pours a cloudy yellow with a large lasting frothy white head. Decent lacing. Nice aroma: Yeasty, fruity and spicy. Flavour’s yeasty and citrusy along with some spices and sweetness. Average to medium bodied. Good stuff, I didn’t get much (if any) peach but I still quite liked it.

[2275-20090613] Tap. Quite yeasty aroma with light doughy bread. Hazy, light brown orange body with a long-lasting creamy white head and nice lacing. Belgian yeasty sweet peach flavour has a long sweet finish. Medium body is a little bitter. Nice balance.

On tap at Mill Street Brew Pub. Pours a radiant yellowy-gold with a slight head. Actually quite a beautiful colour, perfect for a fruit beer of this variety. Light, largely smooth, with a prominent peachiness and citrus extracts, plus some hop. They’ve found a very nice balance for a fruit beer with this one. Fruit beers struggle for me when they are overbearing in some sense.

Draught at the brewpub. This is a cloudy orange yellow colour with a thick and frothy little half inch head. The aroma is inviting: full of peach, wheat, spices. Mouthfeel is pleasant, medium in body. The flavour is full of more belgian white beer flavours: wheat, lemon, orange, spices: with a fair bit of peach. Tastes fresh.

On tap at C’est What? Appearance: Hazy yellow, small white head. Aroma: Yeast, pepper, banana and wheat. Flavour: Lemon, orange, caramel, kind of ’salty’ with a long vanilla finish.

The Mill Street bartend hands me a glass of lightly hazy off-blonde frothiness, and it smells of wheat malts with something naughty going on. The peaches (fruit fermented directly into the beer) express as over-ripe fruit and some body and sweetness, with a hint of residual fresh peach flavors. The feel is agreeable, the flavor sweet but generally refreshing. Totally summer style beer.

On tap C’est What Spring Fest 2009. Cloudy yellow, big white head. Wheat aroma, yeasty, spicy - stronger than their regular wit. Taste is sweet and fruity. As it warms it becomes way too sweet actually. I think I’ll stick with their wit and lemon tea beer, which was far superior at this fest.

Draught. At C’Est What Spring Fest. Cloudy yellow with a decent creamy lasting head. Aroma: all wit, no peche. Taste - standard wit, sweet and yeasty, mild coriander, and eventually ---- there’s the peach; not much peach, but a light tang to make it different from any generic wit/hefe. Creamy, flat mouthfeel, foamy and ultimately very sugary - not bad, but way too sweet.
