Dixie Peach Hefeweizen
Whole Hog Beer

Pours with the slightest of head. Actually, I am not sure this really counts as head. The color could pass for apple juice (sparkling). This does not look like a hefeweizen. I even gave the bottle a bit of shake at the bottom to try and claim some yeast or protein. There was not much there to work with, a crystal/filtered wheat, perhaps? It has a nice aroma, with a hint of peach. Hints of vanilla with some bitter taste that lingers.

I wanted to like it, but only the smell was notable.

Look: It pours a hazy dark yellow-orange with an off white head. Head retention is moderate.

Smell: It has a nice strong peach aroma. There are some doughy elements in the background.

Taste: It is very peachy which is good. There is a bit of a cough syrup after taste. It does has some doughy elements but no banana or clove which I would expect in a weissbier.

Feel: It has a medium body with a cough syrup after taste.

Overall, I wish this had the banana flavors with the peach and a bit less on the aftertaste. I think that would have made it a really good beer.

12 ounce bottle poured into a tulip glass.

L---Mostly clear, golden copper color. An aggressive pour led to one finger of white head that faded immediately down to a ring. Minimal lacing.

S---Strong peach aroma. Nothing indicative of being a hefeweizen, though.

T---Exactly the same as the nose, strong peach flavor, but nothing to make you think it's a hefe.

F---Medium mouthfeel, A little sticky sweetness. Minimal carbonation.

O---It's peachy as advertised, but there's literally nothing to make me think it's a hefeweizen as advertised. There is nothing whatsoever besides peach going on.

From the bottle, it pours a hazy light amber with a weak (for a weizen) head. The head thins quickly. The smell is peaches! Hence the name!! Yum! Pleasant flavor overall, a nice summer brew!

 

 

 

 

Pours a hazy dark orange with a thin, bubbly white head. Smells of peaches! Taste of sweet peach, not overbearing. I don't pick up much yeast, and no clove or banana that like in a Hefe. Nice but would not do again.

 

 

Nice light peach taste, little on the sweet side though. I'm a huge peach fan so I'm partial to anything peach. Decent beer overall.

 

 

Was given this by a friend, having never had this before. I like Peach beers but this should have fallen under the category of a Fruit/Vegetable beer as this didn't seem like a Hefeweizen to me at all. Easygoing and smooth, it tasted a bit too artificial and the alcohol was barely detectable as well although that wouldn't have added or detracted from this beer at all had that not been the case.

The pour to this was typical - a coppery-almond hue, a moderate head that quickly settled, and hardly any lacing to be seen. This was pretty clear though and...what kind of beer was this? It was thin, a hair creamy, and juicy to some extent. Peach and light bread here with a somewhat cloying aftertaste. This went down fairly easily and I could feel the alcohol once this was finished, which was about all there was for an aftertaste.

Sure, I could have had another in a sitting but one at a time was enough. While not a bad beer, this needed so much more wheat and body to it in order to make it more memorable and stylistically true to form. Worth a go once for the summer but with so many better offerings and other fruit beers out there, this fell short of those by enough of a margin.
