United Bass Kollective Peach Pie Saison
Analog Brewing

473ml can - made in collaboration with the Common (a DTYEG resto-pub), and something called UBK, which from this old-timer's perspective, seems to be something along the line of a concert promoter/organizer (for 'bass' music). Also, with 3 groups involved, they still made 2 egregious spelling errors on the label.

This beer pours a slightly hazy, pale golden yellow colour, with four flabby fingers of puffy, rocky, and somewhat fizzy dirty white head, which leaves some random cirrus cloud form lace around the glass as it eventually subsides.

It smells of those soft peach candies that you see in the bulk food aisle, grainy and crackery cereal malt, some mild coriander/black pepper spiciness, and very, very tame earthy, musty, and dead floral hop bitters. The taste is peach/apricot flesh, metallic cinnamon, gritty and grainy pale malt, a lesser edgy wheatiness, sort of estery yeast, and more well-understated earthy, herbal, and musky floral hoppiness.

The carbonation is adequate in its palate-pleasing frothiness, the body a solid medium weight, and mostly smooth, with just a touch of spice maybe not playing all that nice with the neighbourhood kids here. It finishes off-dry, the spiced peach essence predominating.

Overall - well, they certainly achieved what they set out to do, that is create a brew that is 'reminesnt' of 'warm' (peach) cobbler. While I may be hating on their grammar skills, I do have to say that I like this offering - full of flavour, and a decent replacement for desert [sic].
