Peach Crumble Treat
Prairie Artisan Ales

 

 

 

 

prairies dessert ones have been better than many, although this still lacks refinement for me, and as much as it does taste like a peach cobbler or something, it also seems a bit over flavored, untidy, and perhaps even a little unnatural, but no denying the taste is good, even if i think its still weird these are sour beers instead of just pales or blondes. not sure there is salt in this, could just be a fruited kettle type not a gose, certainly doesnt present like a gose. it looks like graham cracker flour in water, dense, dull, orange tinted a little bit, but almost like paste or something, no head at all from the tap, although its cool to see this here in that format, not a pretty beer, but also not as sedimented as some of these heavily flavored modern sours are, no particulate, but it drinks weighty and needs more bubbles too. the nose and taste are similar, i dont get a lot from the pecan, which would have made this cooler, but the peach is juicy and sweet and bright, boldly dosed, all through the beer, even stays with me through the acidity this finishes with. i like how clean the sourness is too, lightly citric which makes the fruit pop, but little else from it, and its not overdosed. vanilla is strong in here, always weird in sour beer for me, and it adds to the perceived sweetness, but it also makes it taste like the dessert its modeled on, so have to take it here. the cinnamon is cool for that too, its warming and all on the finish, makes this feel fresh baked. i dont need all the body, especially without much malt flavor, why do all of these have to be so thick, near still, and sort of sloppy feeling in execution. the flavor is nice though, especially the peach part. im shocked it was served in a pint, i didnt want that much of this, but i drank it down anyway. neat to get some more flavors coming through from prairie, but i miss the glory days of real wild ales from these guys. probably never coming back at this point...

 

 

Pours an effervescent and very hazed honey color with 3 fingers of cream colored head. Not a pretty beer, looks more like a smoothy


S: Cinnamon and peach

T: Follows the nose, some vanilla and dryness. More peach, cinnamon and vanilla as this warms. Finishes, sweet, sticky and just a little tart

MF: Medium body, fairly firm, carbonation, a little sticky

Nice beer that leans as much pastry as sour. I enjoyed this a lot

12oz can. Poured out a cloudy, hazy, orange color with a small, khaki-colored head of foam. It left sudsy sheets of lace on the glass. It smelled of tart peaches, vanilla, cinnamon and some nuttiness. Sweet peach taste with some tartness. Vanilla, cinnamon and some pecan flavors.
