    Drank a 4 pack on Sunday while grilling. Tasty refreshing beer.

    Agreed. Though I do love DFH and will try it again (if I find it since DFH stopped coming to Indiana). Could have had a 4 pack that just didn't make for many various reasons.

    Hmmm, you might be right, I didnt actually buy any but did see it on the shelves. Although I saw it in a number of places and some of the posts above confirm that it definately came out earlier this year than it normally does.

    I was under the impression it's not out yet for 2012. I just messaged Mariah at DFH, so I'll report back once I hear back.

    I am interested in trying this one again. Had it a few years back before I had even heard of sour/tart beers being a style, so I thought it was pretty weird but still pretty decent. I think I should be able to fully appreciate it for what it is this year.

    Anyone else get a wierd off taste at the end? This 4 pack I got didn't taste as dry as usual, and there is some watery maybe even milky aftertaste. Just my opinion of this 4 pack. Usually a big favorite of mine.

    I did not like this at all. For the record I do like Berliner Weiss and other sours. What i did not like was the over ripe, almost rotten peach flavor.

    there's not too many summer beers i really like but this is definitely one of them. my friend brought back half a case from the brewpub for memorial day weekend and i think we almost went through all of it on the first day.

    In Santa Rosa. Very good, but not too tart this year.

    I had it on tap at the Foundry in Boston St. Patty's day this year and it was extremely solid. Looking forward to pick it up soon.

    Anyone know of where to pick it up in the Central/North Jersey area? Haven't been to oak tree or wine and bev depot recently but I haven't gotten any email from them saying they have it yet...:-(

    Just got a tweet my local shop got some in.

    I usually hate social networking, but when it is advantageous to me it's alright...

    Are you sure about that?

    Wha?

    I really only count Facebook, Twitter etc as "social networking".
