L: A generic golden blonde ale.
S: Peaches.
T: A wet and wild ride of flavor. A start of brett and wood into a lot of farm notes into the body and a tarty peach dry finish.
F: A light and wacky peach beer.
O: A very enjoyable but odd peach beer that pushes the envelope of what sours should be.

Really enjoyed this, even as it had been kept for almost 4 1/2 years
Poured a hazy golden sunset Apricot, some sediment leftover at the bottom. Very little loose fizzy head.
Smell is very subtle only hinting at sourness and with a slight apricot tinge
Taste is great, not too sour and rounded out with stellar apricot and peach with some oak barrel coming through as well. Very refreshing
Somewhat drying, nice tartness and good fizzy carbonation.
Not bad at all especially considering it’s age. Perhaps past it’s prime, but who cares, I’ll drink anything if it won’t make me sick.

A: The beer is hazy yellow in color and has a moderate amount of carbonation along with lots of particulates floating in suspension. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that left a collar around the edge of the glass and some wisps of lacing on the surface.
S: Light aromas of sour peaches are present in the nose along with hints of oak.
T: The taste follows the smell and is moderately sour, having flavors of peaches with hints of oak, the latter of which is noticeable towards the finish.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied and tart on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This is a pleasant sour to drink that has some nice flavors of peaches.

375 ml bottle, 7% ABV shown on the back label, no dating I noticed on it. Served in a Teku glass, the beer pours a golden/orange color with about a half inch off-white head that stuck around a while. There's also a decent amount of lacing. I like the aroma a lot, the brew smells mostly like fresh peaches along with some oak, funk and vanilla. Taste is similar to the aroma, with peach, oak, funk, vinegar, white grape and earthy flavors. Mouthfeel/body is medium, it's coating and smooth with a moderate amount of carbonation. I liked this brew a lot, if you're into tart and/or fruity and peachy beers then you should definitely pick this one up. $12.99 a bottle.

Smooth and mature. Might be the most graceful peach beer ever. Cascade levels of quality.

A: Poured into a duvel tulip to a golden orange that's a little cloudy topped by a finger of white head which fades quickly from existence with no lacing
S: Smells of a ton of juicy and resh peach with a hint of sourness and a touch of funk
T: Tastes of juicy peaches, nice sourness, a little funk and a touch of dry musty oak. Huge peach notes throughout make this one very fruit forward. On the swallow the peach notes continue to reign supreme while the sourness lingers as well. Slight oak and funk on the finish as well.
M: This beer is on the lighter list of medium on the palate wiht carbonation that is just below prickly. The acidity gives this beer a drying finish.
O: This beer is pretty awesome. Great fruit flavors and some solid complexity as well. Definitely worth a try if you can find it and like the style.

Hazy peach color with white head. Aroma is really fruity with apricots, mirabelle plums and a vanilla background sweetness. Taste is juicy and fruity with really nice apricot flavor, medium sourness and light yeast funk. Medium to light body and carbonation. Really smooth and easy drinking, especially for a sour.
