Pours opaque, bright yellow, and with only a bit of head (but note that this glass is quite wide). There is no head retention — it disappears almost immediately, and leaves no lacing. I suppose that this is fairly typical for the style. The smell is exactly what you would expect from a peach Berliner Weisse — peaches and wheat — though not as pungent as some other one that I've had this year. Taste follows the nose. Peaches and wheat dominate, and it is not as tart as many other beers I've tried in this style. There is no lactose, but there is a note of creaminess on the mouth. I'm enjoying it. The carbonation is below average for the style, though the body is light and easy drinking. This won't blow your socks off, but it's overall solid, especially at its price point.
