Careful With That Peach, Eugene
Beachwood Blendery

 

 

 

 

Appearance: Mildly cloudy straw-yellow color with a modest sized white head that quickly faded.

Smell: Upfront barnyard funk and tart peach aromas.

Taste: Prominent peach notes make themselves known immediately followed by mild barnyard funk notes, and some mild grassy/hay notes. I also got a hint of tobacco in the taste profile. Initially, the beer is moderately sweet but then transitions to a fairly dry finish ending on some tart peach notes.

Mouth-feel: Fairly light-bodied with a medium level of carbonation. A nice mouthfeel for this beer.

Overall: A tasty American Wild Ale. The beer delivers on the advertised peach addition which is nicely integrated into the nose and flavor profile.

 

Thanks to whomever brought this to the Firestone Walker Festival Pre Party in 2017. Big fanboy of Beachwood.

Peach ale pours a peach color. 1/3" white head on top, average retention. Peach ale smells like peach. Pretty dang clean too, none of those funk notes or horse blanket talk.

Taste is solidly predictable and reliable: lots of peach, good slightly stronger than average sourness for a wild ale, but lower than average acidity. Wood notes are dry. Not much to say unique here, its a sour peach ale, its clean, appropriately carbonated, not overly acidic nor bitter, everything seems right in the wheelhouse where the majority of drinkers of fruited wild ales tend to prefer. Plenty of peach notes and a lemon sourness underneath it.

Beachwood delivers once again. These are pretty reliable, I pretty much won't hesitate to break out the wallet in the rare occasion I come across a bottle of theirs.

 

 

 

 

A: The beer is hazy light yellow in color. It poured with just a narrow collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of sourness are present in the nose along with hints of peaches.
T: Like the smell, the taste is quite sour and has notes of oak and peaches.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied and very tart on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is nice and sour with a pleasant sourness.

Serving type: bottle

 

Thanks, John! On tap at Beer O'Clock.

A hazy light yellow with a thin white head that falls off leaving little lacing. The nose is dominated by a prominent lactic sourness and a wonderful peach expression. Bright, fresh, ripe peaches that bring to mind summer are present in a good amount, with a mild funk complementing it. Mild oak and vanilla notes are present as well. The palate opens sour and lactic with a touch of acetic and citric character along with a really nice peach character. Bright and fresh, mildly floral and not particularly jammy. Sour, mildly tannic on the finish with a clean lactic character, this beer is solid.

 

Not much of a head, looks like grapefruit juice.very fruity aroma with funky grain & a hint of vinegar. Very sweet & sour& salty. Flavor follows it’s arom with the addition of lemon juice & peach shows up very late to the party. Plenty of carbonation & sourness to occupy the tongue.

 

 

 

Ok, this one definitely gets a discussion started. Does it blow your mind like you’re talking to Noam Chomsky? Not really. But having a chat with Kerouac ain’t bad either.

Thing glows a beautiful halo glow (even better than Beyoncé singing about it). On the nose is beautiful peach (duh) that let’s assume were grown in the finest fields in Georgia. Taste follows the nose, while the only downfall is the feel. A bit light like, well, not Christian Bale in “The Machinist,” but it could have a lil more body.

Peace!
