Peach Party
Woodland Empire Ale Craft

Poured from a can

Appearance- Pours a pale golden body with a great frothy head atop. Great lacing.

Aroma- Surprising minimal given the amount of head it pours.

Taste- Mildly sour, very clean citrus flavor.

Mouthfeel- Medium to light body, minimal carbonation, somewhat dry on the end

Overall- Great summer beer. Appearance is super inviting. Overall much better than I expected.

Draft at WE taproom. Cloudy light golden body, small ring of bubbly head. Aroma is....odd. something seems out of place. Taste picks up, fruity, sweet, with a hint of pucker. More apricot than peach. Dries out quite a bit.

 

this might be in their full time lineup now, i keep seeing cans around, and its currently on at the brewery. i havent loved a lot of the sour beer from these guys in the past, really never thought it was what they did best, but this one is really nice, cleaner on the front end souring than other have been in my experience, and with a bright and natural ripe peach character, not too acidic to drink several of either, which i like in these kettle type sours, well done overall. its pale beer with an orange tint to it and a fading white head from the tap. juicy real peach and peach candy alike in the nose, some dried apricot too, and maybe some white wine as well, pretty evolved really even without a lot from the malt, which seems real simple here. the flavor is nice, true to the peach, a little sweet while i drink it and then more tangy on the swallow, not sugary at all though, and rightly dosed to make this distinct yet drinkable. pretty good carbonation here, a lighter medium body, clean pucker, some lemon late, summer flavors more than winter, but very well done with this. i could see it really popping off with a brett pitch...

edit: this seemed even more dialed in when i had it this weekend, more refined, higher carbonation, drier to finish but not at the expense of the peach. very solid fruited sour here!

12 oz can courtesy of rnewt. Pours a significantly hazed gold color with a fair amount of fizzy head that fades quick and doesnt leave any lacing.

Nose is wet cereal grains, a little berliner-esque tartness and only mild peaches.

Taste has some sourness to it, but more tart than sour really and the peach flavor is there, but a little soggy and overripe. the malts feel stale and more akin to a cheap adjunct lager than a nice crafty. Worth a shot, but I dont think its going to wow anyone.
