Big thanks to Randy for passing along this rarity, bottle #370.

We've got a gusher! As I poured it into the glass, the head was at least 4 inches and larger than the amount of beer. The color is a slightly deep hazy amber and the head takes forever to dissipate and leaves very good lacing.

I wouldn't have needed to see the bottle to know there is a ton of peaches in this bad boy as I could smell them across the room. There is hint of the alcohol which burns the nose slightly as well as some sweet malts in the background.

The taste has a deeper, more sugary sweetness than the aroma with the peaches mixing with the dark caramel malts and maybe even some molasses. There is a bit of the lactose creaminess in the finish but the peaches are certainly the most evident flavor.

The mouthfeel is highly carbonated and medium bodied with a lingering fruity sweetness in the finish.

I feel like a broken record saying I'm impressed by the creativity of the Shorts folks, but it almost goes without saying. This is a very sweet beer and that may linger the drinkability a little bit, but the flavors are big and meld together well.

Canned 4/29/22; drank 8/13/22 @ the Yarchives.

Cloudy golden appearance.

A violent pour yielded a HUGE, noisy eggshell head; strong, frothy tree-rung lace.

Peach, apple cider & cream notes in the nose.

Creamy medium mouthfeel.

Cream, peach & apple cider flavors; mild booze heat emerged as this warmed.

A big, tasty summer treat. I'd have another!

Appearance - The golden orange appearance reminded me of a pitch. They were even red hues. A nice white head topped the pour.

Smell - Overripe peaches led the nose with a strong lactose presence.

Taste - shorts mailed this one. There was a lot of peaches in the initial taste which was finished with creamy lactose. I even detected notes of cinnamon. The base beer contributed a little bitterness at the finish.

Overall - This has been on my wishlist since 2014. I believe it was worth the wait.

Reviewed from notes dated 8-3-09.

Head isn't a problem for this beer as four fingers of biscuity tan fluff is easily achieved. Fades slowly and turns rocky leaving waves and dots of lace. Body is a murky copper color. Nose brings with it zesty yet creamy peach notes that is attractive without being ridiculous. The smell really is very nice. The first thing you get with this one is that initial bite of peach with slightly tart peach skin and a dry fruit feel. Peaches continue to dance across the tongue when they are joined with a soft hop fel that adds just the right amount of balance. Creaminess does start to develop as the beer warms bit, it becomes almost sweet bread like on the mouthfeel. Mouthfeel is really big. This is a super drinkable beer, oh so fresh and unique. Shorts shows again what a cool, fun thing beer can be.

Not digging it. Too sweet, minimal head and a bit disappointing overall.

This was just too sticky sweet for my tastes. I'm OK with many of Short's "unique" beers and a number of their fruit beers, but not this.
