Peche
Boom Island Brewing Company

L: effervescent bright gold under a thin white cap with poor retention.

S: smells of tobacco, mild funk, peach, peach skin, hard candy and a trace of oak

T: juicy peachy lemonade tart with a trace of citrus and some apricot over a nice buttery pie crust finishing with medium low levels of tannin

F: has a slight diacetyl slickness, a medium light body and above average carbonation

O: refreshingly tart and flavorful, layered and complex with a pleasant development of yeast flavors

this really isnt very good. its crazy, the first beer i ever had from these guys was amazing, a straight up lambic on par with anything from the old world. it made me so excited about boom island, and i have now been back three or four times, and it never comes close to that original, random bottle of beer i picked up years ago. my heart sinks each time i have a beer like this, which i think in my head could be a peach edition of this wonderful wild beer i had way back when, but this is like the 7th beer in a row from them that has not only fallen short of my high expectations, but been not even good. the wild part of this is whats wrong, the peach tastes natural enough and has a cool ripe sweetness, but the base beer is faulty to me. its stinky like cheese, has a weird butyric sort of acidity, and just tastes dirty and flawed to me. none of the mature bretty funk here at all, and a ton of that cheerio cereal dust to finish, which i know can be a product of a wild ale that hasnt had enough time to mature and that it will drop out over time, even crooked stave and some of the more notable producers have had issues with that in certain beers, but its over the top here, almost all i taste at the end, even above the peach, and i am not convinced that more time would improve this in a way that would save it for me. this just seems sloppy and amateur, and it isnt the first time i have been let down in a wild beer since i first discovered these guys. very disappointing... starting to think that original bottle of oude funk was a happy accident...
