A crisp and refreshing real fruit beer. Its satisfying burst of real peach flavor is followed by a hint of oak and a dry finish. Unfiltered with a cloudy orange appearance. Nothing artificial and not too sweet.

16 oz. can poured into a pint glass. From July/August beer club and brewed in Reno, NV. Pour is lightly hazed deep golden with a fleeting cap of whitish foam. Aroma of muddled peach and light sugar. Taste is firmly carbonated peachy sugary, touch of spice though a bit thin overall. Peach notes do linger for a bit on the finish. A good nonbeer beer, though not one I would seek out, yet it found me.

I tried this on tap at the restaurant, served chilled in a glass.
The color is a hazed amber color with golden hue and white head with fine bead, lace is present with good retention. Th smell has a nice peach aroma with slight malt sweetness and gentle yeast adding to the fruit scent with a nice mix of floral and stone fruit esters. The feel has a good body with medium high carbonation and medium light sweetness with mild bitterness and semi-dry finish.
The taste is very good with flavors of peach that are dominant yet malt supports with a taste that has some sweetness with slight toasted malt and finish that is crisp and mostly dry. This is a pretty easy to drink seasonal which is what the brewer intended I suppose-a simple fruit beer but natural peach taste makes it enjoyable

One of the few beers I didn't finish. Poured into a pilsner glass, minimal head, deep golden, hazy to look at. Smells of peach nectar. Taste of peach nectar. If I didn't know better I would think they poured a mild wheat beer into the glass and topped it off with peach nectar. I knew this was the case when I told my wife "this will be your favorite beer" and she tasted it and agreed. Her comment "this doesn't taste like beer". No malt profile at all, pretty much all peach. I didn't finish it because everyone was ready to go, and honestly it was just too sweet.

On tap at the Surf 'N' Suds Beer Festival held at Carpenteria State Beach in Carpenteria, CA.
Pours a murky golden-orange with a foamy beige head that settles to a partial film on top of the beer. Small streaks of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt, earth, peach, and slight mint aromas. Taste is much the same with toast, peach jelly, and peach flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of earth bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good beer that has a nice toast with peach jelly flavor that I am enjoying.
Serving type: on tap.

Seasonal peach lager, on-tap at BJ's Brea.
A: The pour is a hazy golden orange color with a finger of white head.
S: Smell's very peachy, that's for usre. There's a real peach skin and some peach candy type aromas. The fruit smells a bit underripe and a touch green.
T: The flavor is very much similar to the nose. Semi-sweet fruits with a bit of an underripe and green flavor. A touch of sugar with a solid peach flavor that's in balance.
M: The body is medium with a moderate level of carbonation.
D: I was expecting this to be just awful, but I was pleasantly surprised by it.
