| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 28, 2008 Hazy brownish yellow with a loose thin white head. Subtle sour wheaty with very small peach. Low carbonation, a little more substance than is usual for the style. Very subtle peachy, less subtle, though still very subdued lambic tartness. A bit herbal, of all things. Small alcohol. Lingering wheat. Really full, almost creamy for the style. I know this isn’t a traditional lambic in any way, it is still delightful and interesting. I’m surprised by the low rating, and I’m not even a big fan of peach! wetherel (1641), Encinitas, California, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 2, 2009 Muddy orange juice look with full off-white head. nose was nice to me...giving me a nice, sour, vivid peach. The flavors were lightly soured and funky with loads of peach. Note overly acidic yet it remained nice and clean with vivid peach notes abound. LilBeerDoctor (1526), East Setauket, New York, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 18, 2009 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!

Thanks to Bobby91w & tjtheresh for sharing multiple bottles at the sexual chocolate party! WOW! This is my favorite in the lambic series from Upland. Pale gold pour, slight haze and fizzy white head. Aroma of a mid summer fresh ripe peach. Peachy, sour, and dry!!! I need more DrHomolka (730), Columbus, Ohio, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 2, 2008 Updated: Nov 11, 2009First rate! I got concerned when I popped the cap and there was no hiss. When I tried to pour I realized there was a cork... Pours a flat looking, very hazy orange. No head, just flat clear bubbles that disappear. Hopefully this one picks up some carbonation as it ages. Aroma is, wow, extremely authentic lambic-like. This is just a beautiful aroma. Very Russian River-esque, reminds me of Compunction and Beatification. Huge funkiness and acetic acid notes. Buttery oak, huge citrus fruits - funkified of course. Very, very ripe, fresh fruits. I don’t want to say peach because so much else jumps out. Orange, grapefruit, tangerine, apricot, chardonnay grapes, slight rubber and/or pencil eraser. Graphite. Wine-like. Hay and grass. Just a beautiful harmony of funk. Taste is lightly tart, very subtle, with a silky mouthfeel. Sourness is low, this doesn’t explode with acidity like I thought it might. Peach is much more prominent in the flavor, it stands out where it was kind of lost in the aroma. The nose on this is a knockout, the flavor is nice but I think I would like more sourness. Hopefully aging this will sour this one up. This is still a great beer to drink, even better to smell though. I am extremely excited to try the other Upland lambics.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 1, 2008 10th rating of this beer. 750ml bottle Wetherel brought to my Halloween tasting 09. Had right after the Raspberry Pours orange with a tan ring. Nose is sweet and tart with a lot of really cool peach. Taste is full of peach, slightly tart, very nice, and sweet. Slightly sweeter and not as good as the raspberry but very nice overall.
