Mom's Peach
Old Baldy Brewery

 

Poured a strawberry-blonde color, and the immediate smell was peach, and that was about it. The taste was a nice light pale malt taste (very similar to their Blonde Kolsch) with a good deal of peach thrown in. This would be a much better beer in my opinion but it was served fairly flat, I would have liked a little more carbonation to follow the peach flavors.

Appearance: The beer arrived with a massive white head on top of it's golden body.

Smell: A perfumey peach aroma dominates the nose.

Taste: This brew is basically sweet peaches in front of a fairly average lager. The malts are light, bready and somewhat doughy, the hops are crisp and linger in the background. The peach fades in the middle, but it comes back for the aftertaste.

Mouthfeel: Lighter-bodied and dry with a sweet aftertaste.

Drinkability: It's a different beer and a pretty good one. Consume quickly, so you don't lose to big peach flavor.

This fruity fresh brew is introduced strongly by a HUGE sweet peach aroma one can smell from at least a foot away from the glass. The pale clear gold color looks very clean and crisp. The first taste brings forward a smooth body and drier malt character balanced by a mild bitterness. The finish is distinctly clean and the essence of peach is unmistakable. I can only imagine how great a casked version of this beer would be.

This was surprisingly good lager. The peach element predominates in both smell and taste. I know this doesn't sound too great, but I was surprised by the crisp, clean taste that was quite drinkable. Definitely a beer for special moods, times, and places, but enjoyable nonetheless. My wife liked this beer and she doesn't like beer.

Clear golden straw color with a half inch white head. Beautiful lacing all the way down the glass. Bready sense to the taste as the glass warmed and the peach flavor started to fade. Good to the last sip.
