Little-known fact: Arizona grows some prime peaches. Our Peach Ale is made with the fruit for a crisp, enticing flavor as worthy of enjoying on a warm, sunny day as on a cool, refreshing night.

The beer is a clear gold color with a small white head that dissipates quickly. Aroma of sweet fruit and flowers, on the light side.
Sweet peach taste, more noticeable.
Light bodied, refreshing.

12 oz bottle, best by 6/3/20. Pours clear light straw yellow with a medium fizzy white head that retains fairly well and leaves little lacing.

The aroma is lots of sweet sugary peach.

The flavor is sweet peach with a light medicinal bitter vegetal finish. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with spritzy carbonation.

Overall, peach with some off notes.

Got in a trade with AZBeerDude72. 16 ounce can into pint glass, best before 9/27/2019. Pours lightly hazy pale golden yellow color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a light amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big juicy, lightly tart/tangy peaches, fruit skin/pits, apricot, pear, melon, red apple, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, wood, peppercorn, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of peaches, fruity yeast, earthy hops, and pale/wheat malt notes; with big strength. Taste of big juicy, lightly tart/tangy peaches, fruit skin/pits, apricot, pear, melon, red apple, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, wood, peppercorn, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness; and fruit tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/tangy peaches, fruit skin/pits, apricot, pear, melon, red apple, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, wood, peppercorn, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of peaches, fruity yeast, earthy hops, and pale/wheat malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness and tart/tangy fruit balance; with no puckering/astringent flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitter/tart/tangy and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy/sticky/acidic/tangy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.5%. Overall this is an excellent fruited American pale wheat ale. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of peaches, fruity yeast, earthy hops, and pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the modestly bitter/tart/tangy/drying finish. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Awesome balance of juicy/vibrant peaches, clean pale/wheat malts, earthy hops, and fruity yeast. Zero residual sweetness with crisp dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and impressive style example. Not overwhelming on any aspect. Great summer beer.

12oz can poured into Duvel tulip. Freshest before 07/02/19 printed on bottom of can. So this one still has a couple months of freshness left in it. Got it at the grocery store as part of a $10 six pack mixer.

Appearance - Pale slightly hazy light-medium gold body. Tiny white head with low-medium retention and weak lacing and little stick. 3

Smell - Musky cardboard, corn and faint undertones of peach. Neither appetizing nor the converse. 2.75

Taste - Corn. Metal. More like beer can than beer. 1.25

Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with a mostly clean finish other than the nasty metallic astringency. 1.5

Overall - Not good. Very quite nearly bad. Would never drink again, but not entirely awful. 1.75

Pale yellow body; lively carbonation but no lasting head. Nice smell blending biscuit and peach scents. Water flavor infused with delicate peach; lightly sweet; very little bitterness. Medium-light body; water and slick; semi-sweet feel throughout.

Not much of a beer to get excited about. The peach element is there and not at all overbearing or intrusive. The problem is there is little else to the beer. It would probably appeal to someone looking for a light, slightly fruity, easy drinking hot weather beer.
