For a fruit beer, I think this stuff is fabulous. In fact, I think BBW does a real nice job on their fruit/vegetable beers in general as their blueberry, pumpkin, and even the potato beer are some of the best of their ilk that I know of.

Pure gold color, minimal head, no lace. Its not needed here though.

Smell and taste are exactly as they're supposed to be. It reminds me of freshly peeled and chopped up peaches that are just at the right ripeness. Its hard to get peaches that taste this good at the supermarket. Other taste notes are -peach pit, malt, slight hops and some other fruit characteristic like grape or currant.

Mouthfeel is very smooth and quenching. Only problem here is on the drinkability as it is quite smooth and easy to drink but I think you get sick of these after a couple. Maybe on a hot day, it could be consumed in larger quantity.

Presentation: I recently drank a pint of this beer at the Post-Stammtisch BA Social held at the Boston Beer Works, North Station on Sunday, September 14th. This was the third beer of the session, and I opted for something decidedly different.

Appearance: A light golden hue with a hint of amber. A white head that breaks easily soon replenishes with a light swirl of the beer thanks to the above average levels of carbonation.

Nose: Quel Surprise! Peaches, not too in yer face, but the Peaches do tend to dominate the nose.

Taste: Basically a light lager with hints of Peaches, nicely balanced, more peaches than anything else.

Mouthfeel: The Peaches contribute little here. The body of the beer is light, but the beer has a fleshy velvety feel. A smooth and fruity mouthfeel, but just average in strength and quality.

Drinkability: Definitely NOT a session beer, try a pint for a change, but not quite my cup of Tea. One was enough.

Overall: Not a bad effort for a Peach flavored Ale, and far from revolting. But for most I think this will be just one of those ‘alternate’ beers worth trying once in a while I feel.

I just wish that they called it something else. “Peach Fuzz” means something totally different in the UK. I so wanted to say to the Waitress “can I try your Peach Fuzz please”, but I just couldn’t do it without laughing.
