A - Pours with a small head of white foam on top of a lightly hazy, dark golden body. The foam settles quickly and leaves light lace.
S - Thick, wheat malt with lots of spice and fruit notes and a big dose of coriander.
T - Sweet, thick, syrupy malt up front with a bit of fruit that is, oddly, more apricot than peach. Lemon and pepper in the middle with more of the palate coating syrupy sweetness. Finishes with some odd spicy notes of coriander and musty, phenolic brett.
M - A thick, syrupy body, moderately low carbonation, and a sweet finish.
D - Way too thick and sweet for my taste, and while there are some interesting things going on here I can't really bring myself to say it works. The brett and fruit combine to make it taste like they just put a huge amount of coriander in it and that doesn't make for a very enjoyable beer. Like many of the Lips of Faith beers, this one is more interesting than good.

From old, undated notes; had this on draft.
Murky dark yellow; dandelion.
No head; minimal lacing.
Smells of a fruit forward sour; citrus.
Fairly thin mouthfeel.
Peach & cherry upfront; grapefruit bite on the lips.
Tasty.

1. From tasting notes – had on tap at the Bryant Lake Bowl. Hazy gold with a thin white foam collar. A touch of funk on the nose with peach and other fruit. Palate is peachy and funky. Medium body with a wild yeast texture. Decent but not their best work.

Yeasty, malty aroma has a definite, if not overpowering, note of peach. Pours a lovely clear amber with a fairly thick and fine-bubbled cream head. Strongly yeasty flavor has subtle malty and peach notes with hints of citrus and - banana? Smooth, just slightly slimy texture has an OK amount of fizz. Sit back and enjoy a mouth full of the classic South!
