Upland Peach Lambic

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

Bottle courtesy of JCB (thanks Jason!). Pours a cloudy light orange with no real head. Aroma is quite funky and sour with a small touch of bitter hops. Nice oakiness with slight fruity notes. Flavor of coconut (unusual, but I definitely taste it...) and tangy peach. Very little acidity. Not enough peach for me, but still quite a good lambic. I’m glad I got to try this! 8/4/8/4/16 (4.0/5)

750 ml corked and capped bottle courtesy of tjthresh. Pour is hazed golden orange yellow, pour is entirely flat with no head. This has not been the case with the other Upland Lambics, hope this one is ok. Aroma of mild vinegar sourness, with nice fresh ripe peach aroma behind that. Taste is the sour acetic vinegar right up front, with only a hint of the peach fruit behind that. This one obviously did not carbonate properly. There is some oak woodiness in here too, though its pretty sharp and disjointed. As it continued to warm, the peach flavors came out nicely. Palate is flat, medium and the after taste was brief. Thanks Tom.

Bottle from the Otown throwdown. Orangish color, with a apricot colored head. Aroma is really nice and full of peaches. Has a lot of peach in the flavor with less sourness than I expected. I liked this more than the strawberry by upland.

750ml shared with the DC crew thanks to ygtbsm. Big sour, sweet aroma. Murky orange-tan color. Sweet and peachy, no real carbonation. No hop balance or crispness, as to be expected I suppose. Peach juice with extra wheaty sourness. Mild, a tad odd...but I still find it oh-so quaffable.

Bottle at BeerAdvocate tasting (yeah, I do BA stuff too, I’m a man of the people). Cloudy orange-yellow color. Aroma of peach and funk. By funk I mean horse blanket, straw from a pig sty floor, lamb shearer, and cow hairbrush. Appetizing, no? Flavor is sweet and sour peaches, some barnyard - any of the animal-related apparatuses I listed, you pick. Falls a little flat at the end with a watery finish.

(750ml bottle, thanks ygbtbsm) No head atop lightly hazed light amber body. Aroma is medium sweet, sour peach, some funk. Medium sweet, peach, some sourness, light funk. Minimal carbonation, light body.

75cl bottle courtesy of YGTBSM. Gold with a small head. Clean tart aroma with light peaches. Lightly sour, peachy, and finishes dry. Light bodied with low carbonation. Really light flavor and palate impact overall, though what is there is not at all bad stuff.
