A very nice looking beer. A firm creamy head, lots of interesting lace. Requisite hazy peach colour. The look of it is a pleasant surprise. After that, pretty much a common sour. Properly sour. Peachy, but not assertively so. I've always wished for more emphasis on the flavour of the fruit coming through in the style, with less dominance by the sour side of things. Pleasantly drinkable, but not distinguished.

473 mL can from the LCBO; coded Jun 29 2022 and served barely chilled.
Pours a hazy, pale golden-apricot hue, initially capped with nearly two fingers of fluffy, foamy, sparkling white head that dissipates within several minutes' time. A frothy collar lives on, surrounding some filmy wisps on the surface - not much in the way of lacing, though. Ripe, juicy peach fruit on the nose, with suggestions of grainy malts, sugary peach drink and subtle lemon yogurt sourness.
It's alright - not very sour, and definitely not complex, but it does possess a solid barley malt backbone and authentic peach flavour. Bready and doughy at the forefront, with sour peach flavours transitioning toward more of a juicy-sweet, overripe peach fruitiness by mid-sip. Hints of lemon peel and weak lactic sourness join towards the finish, with peach purée and bready malts into the aftertaste. Medium in body, with low carbonation and a soft, somewhat fluffy and juicy mouthfeel that feels smooth on the palate - absolutely sessionable.
Final Grade: 3.77, a B+. As a fruited kettle sour in the crowded Ontario craft beer market, Duality Peach isn't really anything to write home about. That being said, if I look at this purely as a peach beer, I think it's mostly successful: the peach flavours are there, they're certainly not fake, and I also appreciate the presence of noticeable pale malt flavours. I almost felt like I was drinking a 'peach blonde ale' at times, which is not necessarily a bad thing... unless you're really hoping for a tart, puckering sour, which this just isn't. If I'm ever in the mood for a peach brew, this'll warrant consideration.
