3.5/5 rDev -21.2%
look: 3 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 2.75 | overall: 3.5
Pale gold with no head.
The aroma is toasty toasty toasty, but also airy with a peach-apple sharpness on the tail end.
Feel is more watery than I'd prefer, with flavors of apple and pear that are less sour than the smell indicates, as a vibe of peach farm slowly creeps in as it warms, all via a thin dry body.

A: Lots of dried peaches upfront, followed by a light funky sourness.
A: Straw color, light haze with a very thin ring of head in the glass.
T: Lots of peach flavor upfront, followed by a light lingering sourness that’s faintly funky.
M: Medium-light bodied, no perceivable acidity, with moderate carbonation.
O: Solid; very refreshing and easy to drink. However, the beer is not quite as tasty as its nearly identical twin, Surrette Reserva Prunus Perscia (which has a little better balance between peach and funky sourness)
