Side Peach
Prairie Artisan Ales

The pour is coral colored with a medium amount of carbonation. The taste is peach ring candy upfront followed by a tart & sour finish. Cheers! B

 

 

 

From Beer Drop, canned July 10th 2023.

It pours a hazy light orange colour with a good finger of foam and nice lacing.

The smell is of peaches. Can says puree but it is more like the pits were ground up and thrown in.

The peaches taste both sweet and tart with a peach pit bitterness. Some acetic qualities but not much. Overall taste says fresh to me.

Medium bodied, good carbonation.

This second can is impressing me more than the first.

even with less of the stuff that made me love prairie in the first place in recent years, i still look forward to what they do, some real ambitious kettle sours in their range, and most of them are excellent. this is the best one i have had in awhile, cheeky name, lovely beer. this combines both approaches to the style, real peach and peach ring candy, and its the latter that leads in aroma and flavor, but its not overly sweet, balanced well by the sourness in this, which is middle of the road, mouthwatering in the nose, drying on the tongue, clean with enhancing lemony citrus character, and not limiting the drinkability much, although this has so much flavor that i dont necessarily want three of them. a shade darker than blonde but not orange, lightly hazy, and with a short white head on it, fizzing and popping as the aroma fills the area, peach candy all day, peach rings specifically, a little perfume to it, but the sweet ripe real peach character is there too, some wheat in the base, tangy. the flavor is exactly the same as the nose, amazing peach ring candy, not overly sugary i suppose, faint vanilla to me in here too, not diabetic, piquant on the back end, and with some nuance of candied tangerine peel, green grape, and rock candy. average carbonation and body, unique flavor, and overall really good, a fun one to pass around the table, i love it when beer is unserious but still very good, not gimmicky even with the candy addition, definitely one to seek out!

 

On draft at PapPo's. Poured a clear, golden yellow color with a small, white head of fluffy foam. It left sticky lacing. It smelled of sweet peach - a like a Jolly Rancher candy. Sweet peach taste with a tart kick.

The nose is peachy in a Prairie Ales snifter. It’s strong. The flavor follows. It isn’t a straightforward peach taste; yes, it tastes of whole peaches in the barrel, but … side peach! Purée and peach ring candy. A best-candy flavor. The same peachy aftertaste lingers.
