2014 12 oz bottle.
A modicum of sediment remained in the bottom of the bottle after a full pour into my glass. The golden amber body was topped by a weak off-white head that soon reduced to a thin ring.
Quite peachy in both the aroma and the flavor, with a natural and somewhat freash peach taste. The BBL aging is less obvious, in part due to the strong peach flavor. Some biscuity malt base shows through it all. Still, the peach is a bit too dominant.
Feel: medium body with medium+ carbonation.
O: plenty to like about this ale IF a peachy ale is appealing,

Tried this on draft today. This beer tastes like flavored cough syrup. Avoid at all costs.

12oz bottle poured into a snifter
A- pours a clear golden color with a one-finger foamy head that reduces to leave nothing behind
S- plenty of peach on the nose, along with toasted wheat & oak, peach stands out the most
T- peach dominates on flavor up front, but comes across a bit artificial. Mid-palate brings out toasted wheat and a flavor similar to fruity pebbles cereal. The finish gives a hint of oaky bourbon, lingers of more peach
M- medium body with moderate carbonation leads to a foamy mouthfeel that continues into the finish
O- an interesting beer, but all over the place. An imperial wheat beer aged in bourbon barrels is certainly unchartered territory

Don’t know why the reviews are so negative.
I’ll be honest — I’m not a beer drinker (this is my 1st review EVER). But I LOVE bourbon & this tastes a lot like drinking a good KY bourbon neat. Strong barrel flavor. Fruity nose is quite musky.
Don’t know about beer but love this wheat “ale.”

With the different Kentucky brews I have had from them I was expecting more. Smell was nice it had more of an apricot aroma than peach. Feel is thin but smooth, taste wasnt bad it has a fresh and fruity front, peach and apricot with a slight touch of burbon in the finish. All in all not bad but leaves you wanting more.

One of my favorite summer beers of all time. I love that it is not a cider but still subtly sweet. It is a little heavy, so I can only enjoy 1 or 2 during one sitting. It has notes of brown sugar and peach, but like I said NOT the overboard sweetness of a cider. Perfect combo!

Pours a crystal clear yellow with a huge pillow of a white head that lingers and leaves just a bit of lacing. Aroma is peach fuzz and booze. Flavor is not much more than the nose, but it's fabulous. A beer with peach in the name should taste peachy and this does. Feel is crisp and well carbonated. Great beer from a brewery that until this offering really has not impressed me.
