A smooth & balanced fruit ale with sweet peach taste that’s nicely harmonized with lightly bitter black tea flavor. Light, refreshing, sessionable – a perfect summer brew.

A very nice combination of peachy flavor to tea carbonated and flavored like a beer. Very nice balance smooth body. Body is late like a pilsner or blonde ale good fruity finish. Not bad!

Pours dark gold. Not much of an aroma. Moderate peach flavor. Bitter tea finish. Its average at best.

Sparkling gold with a fluffy lumpy white head.
Taste is grainy toast with tea and faint orangey peach. It's more like a blonde or pils with fruit added than a shandy. And the medium-full body actually has a semi-bitter grassy semi-dry finish.

I made a foray out to The Beer & Beverage Shoppe the other day & while I did not come away with as much beer as on my previous visit, I did manage to find some new stuff as well as getting the ones that I had specifically gone to purchase. This was one of the unexpected ones.
From the Bottle: "Brewed with Sweet Peach and Black Tea".
Having Pop!ped the cap, now it was time for a slow, gentle C-Line pour. This resulted in two-plus fingers of dense, foamy, rocky, eggshell-white head with reasonable retention, leaving decent lacing in its wake. Color was solid Amber (SRM = > 7, < 9) with NE-quality clarity. Nose was redolent with peaches! Mmm. Mouthfeel was medium, but big for such a low-ABV beer. The taste was very peachy with a light milky flavor, like peaches 'n' cream ice cream. Wow! It was not overly sweet, though, which was a pleasant surprise. Instead, it was more like peach preserves with a cream flavor. It was on the finish that I tasted the tea & it made me realize that this would be a great beer on a hot, humid Summer's day. Turkey Hill Dairy & Mini Markets makes & sells a Peach Tea as well as a Black Tea, but not a Peach Black Tea & I may be inspired to try a blend on my own. It is not what I would consider an every day beer, but under the right circumstances, this would be quite tasty.

The peach comes through without being too sweet or syrupy. Crisp,dry,and light so it goes down easily. I believe it was the black tea that left the usuall dry,bitter,and earthy aftertaste that made this not work for me. Minus the tea it would probably have been a better beer for my taste buds. Still have it a decent review because it was well made with a good taste,just not to my tastes
