R.J. Rockers Son of a Peach Wheat Ale

Brewed by R.J. Rockers Brewing Co.
Style: Fruit Beer
Spartanburg, South Carolina USA

On tap at Brewgrass 2009 in Asheville. WOW! Loved this beer!! I’m a sucker for fruit beers anyway and this one did not disappoint. Great peachy aroma and taste. Loved it!

Ok, I admit that this is not for everyone, but the aromas and flavors of fresh cut peaches is excellent. I was especially impressed with the true to life peach flavor the beer replicates without becoming sweet. Very enjoyable.

12oz bottle. Thick, murky orange with a minimal soapy head. Some floaties. Deep peach pie aroma. Pronounced peach juice taste, not that tart..more thick, sweet, and creamy. Really captures the essence of peaches and cream. Light tangy peach-apricot in the aftertaste. Refreshing and quite unique. Some serious peach yogurt nuances.

12oz bottle. appearance of orange juice under a small creamy white head. peach juice aroma. a very "real" peach flavor and not sugary at all. a hint of vanilla. crisp, bitter, wheat finish. dry and light bodied. i like it.

Tap @ TacoMac, John’s Creek. Pours a goodlookin hazy orange, thin creamy white head. Good lace. Aroma of peach pie. Puree of ripen peaches over wheat malt. Flavor is very fruity. Lots of peaches although no sweetness. All floating around in a very dry, unfiltered wheat beer. Finishes with the flavor of a Childern’s Tylenol. Overall, attendance of the peach is unique, in the least.

12oz bottle. Pours cloudy golden in color with white head. Aroma sweet peaches, peaches and peacher. Taste wheat, mild peaches and dry with dry finish.

On draught at the High Country Beer Fest, it pours a hazy orange, with a nice foam cap that leaves spotty lace. Pure peach bouquet. The flavors are superbly integrated for peach pulp and juice, intermingling with some bready notes, wheat, and a slightly acidic sweet and sour finish. The mouthfeel is light and refreshing, and cuts through the heat perfectly in summer. As a general rule, most fruit beers get a bad rap as overprocessed, sometimes cloying, odd experimentations. I can say with all assurance that this offering is not any of those, and honestly tastes like a true, natural peach-infused ale. Nothing artificial about this brew here. Kudos to RJ Rockers.
