Pours from the 650mL bottle into my beer can pint glass a slightly hazy, slightly cloudy gold with faint hints of orange, capped my modest white head that recedes to a bit less than a finger but persists reasonably at that point and leaves decent lacing.
Smell is peach, apricot. Pear juice. Fruit cup syrup. A faint bit of biscuit, hay, lightly grassy. Taste is a bit more beer-forward: still lots of peach and apricot, but a decent bit of grassy, hay, biscuit flavours. Super creamy texture. Fairly sweet, but not cloyingly so. Body is light and drinkable; carbonation is actually quite moderate and nice.
A pretty solid, nice, balanced summer beer. Not too sweet, not outrageously fruity. Just drinkable, flavourful, pretty crisp and clean. I'm into it.

Bomber purchased at the brewery.
A: Slight carbonation, slight white head that accumulates only around the edges of the glass, excellent clarity of the amber coloured liquid.
S: Some peach, fairly strong apricot, yeast and diacetyl.
T: Strong diacetyl flavours of buttered popcorn dominate with some cereal grains, peach and apricot in the finish.
M: Thin viscosity and a low level of carbonation.
O: Diacetyl dominates this beer to the point that it is a microwave buttered popcorn bomb.

This isn't the style of beer I typically go for - cream ales tend to not appeal to me at all. But the girlfriend loves peaches, and she was with me and so we ended up taking this bottle home. I figured it would be nice on a hot day such as today, but didn't set my expectations too high.
Nose: Bready malts, pilsner and pale I would guess, and fruit notes of peachs, apricots, and even a little banana. The fruitiness isn't very strong, it mostly smells like a pale ale to me.
Taste: Crisper than I expected from a cream ale, there is sweetness of the peach and apricot and maybe some vanilla but the breadiness isn't overly heavy and the sweetness isn't sickly or syrupy. It's actually quite nice! Certainly a refreshing patio beer.
I was pleasantly surprised by this beer - there are a number of patio beers I would typically choose over this but I wouldn't hesitate to drink again if it were within an arm's length!
Also of note: Tin Whistle is situated in Penticton BC, which is on Okanagan Lake, and just north of them also on the lake is Peachland. Hmmm.
