Audibly fizzy... A fingers worth of crisp off white colored froth with modest retention... Limited lacing and a slight collar... Color is a pale hazed golden yellow... Nose of fresh peaches, vanilla and just a hint of lactose... Tart peaches on the palate followed by more tart peaches... Simple but really effective... In the fuller side of medium bodied... Light prickly carbonation... Rather sturdy... Refreshing, we'll-crafted and quite enjoyable...

Packs a bunch of boldness, intense peach delivered by the base, and hops still make an honest showing in the finish. AS good a sour IPA as I have had.

16oz can into a pint glass yesterday afternoon.
Looks good, hazy orange body, bright white head persists, rings of lacing early on.
Lovely peach aroma
On tasting quite sour, citrusy, peachy.
Mouth between medium and full, finish sour peaches.
Overall, pretty good beer, sour enough, fresh fruit flavor.

Had this as a 16 oz shaker pint pour at Craft Draft in Newburgh, NY, on 15 Aug 2021... not a looker in the glass... the artfully chiseled sour peach edge to the underlying (barely an) IPA thrilled me from the sample I was gifted... out of a 3-beer trial final, went with this and was thoroughly satisfied... what a marriage of the tart, naked peach, and fruity hop elementals!... dat ping kept me alert and awake, wanting to know where I could get more (besides where I was)... I will keep this on my radar for awhile; quite an impression! (1808)

L -- Hazy golden straw body with a finger of solid white head produced with moderate pour. Some retention and lacing. Looks like an NEIPA
S -- Tons of juicy peach and pastry dough character. Hint of lemony acidity and maple. Very pleasant and fresh
T -- Bit more tart than anticipated. Has a clean, apple cider vinegar tartness alongside yellow peach, leafy hoppiness, and a light sweetness
F -- Light mouthfeel, medium carb. Refreshing and fairly quaffable
O -- Definitely tarter than the other Silhouette variants I've had. The peach character, especially on the nose, is really well done

Can from the brewery in Beacon, NY. Pours a hazy light orange gold with two fingers of fluffy white head, head dissipates, minimal lacing, smell is sour peach rings, tropical peach juice, peach sorbet, hints of lemon, pineapple, and yellow cake, taste is sour peach hard candy, peach rings, underripe peach flesh, sour plum skin, apricot, and tropical fruit juice, feel is light, creamy carbonation, bright acidity. A sour candied Bellini with a tropical twist.

Pours a thick golden yellow color with a thin white head. Smells exactly like a peach. Super juicy and very peachy in taste. Nice sour taste not being too overbearing. Simply world class.
