Style: Fruit Beer
OFallon, Missouri USA

Found probably the last box of 6 12oz.s in the Chicagoland. Girl friend fell in love with this beer at the GT in Madison. Not a big fruit beer fan, but not adverse to a little dessert once in a while. Pours a clear, light gold, with a small, white head and minimal lace. A little bread, & a lot of peach in the aroma. Fresh peach in the flavor, with a touch of dryness in the finish. Not complicated, but refreshing.

Nice, exceptionally light peach taste. As a wheat beer nothing special, but not bad. I’d say on the low side of average.

Which wheach whitch? Peachy aroma. Silly label, how bout we drop the eyes from the peach? Initially has a little more ale bitterness than I would have expected for a wheat beer. Ceratinly lots of peach in there. Flavor is more unsweetened than I would have expected. Gunk on bottom provides a hefe swirling pour. Ya get used to the flavor after a while. Enjoyable amount of fizz. Like many other fruit beers and I am wondering about why this is rated so much higher by others. Finish has a few attributes of bitter ale but is only medium in length.

Summary: Yea to the peach, but nay to the wheat. Aroma: Sweet peach, like a peach hard candy. Appearance: Pale hazy straw color, thin white head, spotty lacing. Flavor: Peaches with a little citrus on the front. Then it becomes strongly wheaty, whole grain wheaty, and noticeably oxidized. Finishes peachy and slightly bitter. Palate: Mediium carbonation, peppery.

Bottle thanks to BeerBunker. Thanks! Aromas of peach and a light lemon/wheat note. Pours a nice bright hazy yellow/orange with a thin lasting head. Flavor of mild sweet soft peach, pretty natural all things considered. Wheat follows, lemon/citrus is tart, light Wheaties, then some lingering peach flavors. Smooth carbonation, easy to drink. A well done fruit beer that I enjoyed quite a bit.

Bottle from Friar Tuck in St. Louis, MO. Hazy pale gold color with a decent fine white head. The aroma is peach. Medium body with frothy carbonation. Flavor is peach, somewhat bitter, over wheat/grain. Finish is like sucking peach pit. Ending a little bitter. It is refreshing.

12 oz bottle. Aroma is so peach, maybe a little yeasty.Light, fruity taste. It’s really, really peachy with a slight bitter taste on the tongue at the end.

This hazy golden pour literally smells like a fuzzy navel. The peach is all over. It is clean and smooth to drink but almost a little too much so. One might say it is a little watery. You can taste the peach but not as much as you can smell it. Leave my mouth strangely tight and dry.
