Poured a hazy gold, slightly pink with a medium to small head that disappears rather quickly.
Smells literally like a peach, if I didn't know what it was beforehand it could have fooled me into thinking it was a cooler or seltzer.
Taste definitely reminds you that it is infact a beer. You do get the hit of peach which is very pleasant and then get some hints of yeast and malt. Nice and tart as a sour is expected to be but still very soft and not face puckering kind of sour.
Exceptional beer

Hazy pale gold color. Poured a medium head that collapsed to a patchy skiff in half a minute. Medium-low flow of mixed size bubbles from the bottom of the glass. Left a few small dots of lacing.
Strong peach smell; very slightly cooked, was almost the scent of a raw peach. Light malt smelling something like pie crust dough. Very light yeast funk. The overall impression is of a pie ready to go into the oven. Not very beer-like. Swirling the glass kicked up more yeast and malt, taking the overall scent more towards a beer.
Sweet and a little tart. It starts off more sweet than tart but evolves to more tart than sweet. Light malt flavor with some yeast funk. The fruit flavor is much lower than expected from the smell. Oddly, there is more orange citrus than peach. A little pear flavor shows up toward the end. The aftertaste is mostly light malt and yeast that tails off to tart yeast funk. The peach fades in after a while with a tiny bitter.
A little fizz. Slightly astringent. Somewhat dry mouth after swallowing.
Is this a re-spin of the "Gose With Peach" from 2017? From the description on the label I was expecting more of a gose style sour. This is much milder as sours gose (sorry). The difference in the fruit between the scent and flavor was unexpected; it would have been nicer if the fruit flavor level had followed the scent level.
