Upland Peach Lambic

Brewed by Upland Brewing Company
Style: Lambic - Fruit
Bloomington, Indiana USA

SourFest II. Courtesy of Skyview. Huge thanks to him for getting all the Uplands for everyone to try. Milky orange color with no head. Aroma of peaches and peach rind. Much the same in the flavor. A very little sourness.

First pour is crystal clear light amber with no head. Nice aroma is cheesy barnyard with wood and light peach. Medium body with little carbonation. Mildly tart and buttery flavors of light peach, tart wheat and wet wood. Nicely dry finish. This one probably needs more aging.

Sampled during Skyview Sourfest II in St Paul, MN. From 750 ml bottle pours a hazy golden orange brew with a fast dissolving off-white head that dissipates to a thin ring. Aroma of peach skin and yeast with some barnyard funk and wheat malt. Taste is tart, some carbonation with flavors of dried peach, yeast, some mild cheese and wet horse blanket. Finish is semi-sweet with a light peach aftertaste. Could use some more funk and tartness but still an okay lambic.

Hazy orange color with no head. Sour funky aroma with fain peach. One of the better uplands I’ve tried. Faint peach character, mild watery funk.

Bottle... C&P’sLYFO Throwdown... Murky, lightly golden ale with a small, fizzy, white head. Peach and funky, barnyard aromatics with a side note of old, salted, vintage cheese. Medium-bodied and watery with soft carbonation. The flavor is subdued, but tangy and peachy. Fruity, lightly sweet, moderately tangy finish.

Bottle, thanks RadioMGB. Lighty orange body, no head. Nose is peach, a little lemon pit acidity, hay-like malt. Really great infusion of peach in to the aroma. Flavor is somewhat lifeless - a bit of acidic peach, some wheaty malts. Fresh peach comes forward again in the finish. OK, but nowhere near as good as the first year of Upland Lambics.

750ml bottle from the brewery....pours a golden orange brown with a barley existent head....aroma of slightly tart fruit and light peach.,,,flavors of watered down citrus and tart flavors, barely apparent peach. watery profile which doesn’t hold up well overall.

Bottle. Some peach, some barnyard, some raspberry, some toasted coconut... Nothing about this one jumped out at me, sort of had the minimum of each component of a fruit lambic. Not at all unpleasant certainly, but just ok for the style.
