This Peach Kettle Sour was made with Greek yogurt, peach concentrate, and a Saison yeast strain. The Lacto strains in the yogurt eat some of the sugars to produce the tart character, which balances the peachy sweetness.

Thanks to Rug for hitting me with this one.
Pours a peach-blushed gold in hue with a fluffy white head.
The nose is gentle and peachy. A mild wheat note comes through as well. It has a good depth to the peach, almost nodding in the direction of lightly sweet, but then backing away a very subtle hint of tartness comes in.
Mouthfeel is light, mildly carbonated, and finishes with a warming sour finish.

Canned 7/20/23

While I was in Chicago over the weekend I drank quite a bit of this, as it’s accessible and easy drinking, but I figured I’d bring one home to review as well. Let’s crack it open and see what it’s like to drink this out of a glass instead of from a paper bag wrapped can on the streets of Chicago

Pours a cloudy orange gold with 2 fingers of frothy off white head that fades to a thin cap and leaves minimal lacing

The nose is actually quite gentle, not too much tartness to speak of. I’m picking up on aromas of peach rings, candied orange, crackery malt, lemon zest, honey, and earthy wheat

It’s very similar in taste, retaining the same gentle tartness. On the front end of the sip I’m tasting lemon zest, peach rings, bready malt, honey, orange juice, light vanilla, and toasted grain. The swallow brings notes of peach rings, orange juice, earthy wheat, bready malt, toasted grain, light pineapple, and lemon zest

A light medium body pairs with moderate carbonation, resulting in a crisp beer. Finishes a tad sticky but refreshing

This is damn solid, a good bang for your buck Kettle Sour. Though I would prefer just a bit more tartness

Fair warning, I rated this between the style and my personal preference, so it may not make sense to you.
Poured a lighter honey color with a 1cm near white head and was not transparent, but not translucent enough for unfiltered either, so not sure.
The aroma was lost on my Covid damaged nose.
The taste, in my opinion is excellent, it just doesn’t taste like a kettle sour as much as a session sour with peach. Not sure how to describe the difference.
The feel is close to great but the lack of active carbonation makes it flat in the mouth. Still, very quaffable.

Sour and almost rotten on nose
Taste is tart more than sour and a very mild Peach taste. The mouthfeel is very nice and mildly creamy. Not the best of their sours I've had but still good.

Pours out of the can a ever so slightly opaque golden orange with about an inch head with slight lacing. Smells of peaches and maybe even apples. Tastes wonderfully tart to begin with and then the subtle notes of peach pull through. After 3 sips it starts to show its true colors. A great sour

Pours out clear, golden orange, with some white head. Nose is peach first. Taste is subtle sour acidity, with tart peach notes. Lovely drinkable light body. A very pleasant sour.

Pours a brilliant, clear golden color. Two finger, white sudsy head. Head dissipates pretty quickly leaving no residual head. Aroma has notes of yogurt, peach, wheat and some light light tart notes.

Taste follows the nose with notes of wheat and greek yogurt, fresh peach and a hint of lemon-y citrus. Moderately tart. Refreshing finish. Fee is light, tart, bright. Moderate carbonation. Semi-dry finish.

Overall it is a lovely fruited sour - easy drinking, light, refreshing and not filling.

Got a 6 pack from Bridge Street Market in GR. Poured into a goblet.

L: Pours a clear golden color as expected from the style. Has a short white head that dissipates fast, leaving little bits of white lacing.

S: Smells of apples, peaches, lactase, wheat.

T: Tastes sweet, like apple juice, hints of peach, not very sour though.

M: Fairly carbonated, balances with the light flavor, is pretty refreshing.

O: I mean it's a good fruit beer, I don't know about the sour though.

Good sour peach flavor is there and not artificial somewhat dry but mixes well with the base sour beer. Picked this up from the Vintage Estate in Ohio for just a couple bucks. Definitely would drink again!
