At the brewery.
Hazy deep yellow color. No head to speak of.
Peach is evident in aroma and taste.
This is, like most of the Urban Artifact, very tart. I believe they do a really good job with these beers but it just doesn't grow on me.
I will keep trying!

This beer pours orange and hazy. It is topped with a couple inches of tan head that disappears quickly.

Peach aroma. Slightly tart smell

Tart peach flavor.

Medium bodied with a dryish mouthfeel

Another well made tart fruit ale from Urban Artifact.

 

 

 

 

Pours a peachy gold with nearly no head. It smells like sour lactic character with wheaty breadiness coming through and a small amount of peach on the finish. The taste is not as sweet or sour as expected. It's got a malty sourness up front with a thin, fresh peach flavor that's rounded out by just a hint of vanilla. It's hard to believe this one is over 7% because it goes down so easily. Overall not bad but I've had better fruit beers.

 

Breaming, bright and radiant, Urban Artifact's turns to the country orchards for a sour ale that's just peachy. Copious amounts of white peach fuel a uniqueness in their kettle sour ale program.

Truly peachy gold to the eye, Love Letter floats a frothy ivory crown before taunting the nose with the zing and zeal of stone fruit, orchard fruit with a background of wine, cider and citrus. As its flavors make their first introductions, they do so with a pastry-sweet, cereal tone with hints of honeysuckle and orange blossom.

With the flavors of the underlying ale unfolding on the middle palate, the peach and all its juicy glory floods the tastebuds. With suggestions of marmalade, apricot and mango hanging around. Meanwhile a complementary blend of green apple, lime, lemon and gooseberry add to the tartness with wine spritzer character alive in the beer's racy late palate.

Medium bodied and retaining a good measure of sweetness and starch from the malts, the beer takes on a tart, off-sour balance that's just shy of the dry sourness that the war-heads types desire most. A finish of tart peach cobbler and a short extension of brisk burlap and wine echo briefly in aftertaste.
