Very apparent peach aroma. Nicely balanced sweet fruit and bitter hop. Refreshing.

Light and refreshing beer. The fruit aromas work well, with enough bitterness to ensure that it does not end up too sweet. Floral, definentely, but overall the peach and melon aroma tastes great, and ensure a refreshing summer satisfaction.

Peachy aroma and sweet in the mouth, I like this one, and I’ll strongly recommend it.

500ml bottle. Pours a slightly hazy amber gold, with a large yet quickly dissipating head. The aroma is dominated by peach, to the exclusion of almost anything else, although there is perhaps a hint of caramel malt lurking in there. As it passes the lips there is a strong peach flavour, moving onto a nicely fruity hops taste. Peach dominates the mid-section, giving a fantastic mouthfeel, and mingles with malt notes in the finish. Another excellent Badger beer!

Bottle. Amber, little head. Aroma of peach, passion fruit, pineapple. Medium body with plentiful fizzy carbonation. Very fruity, especially peaches, with some nice hoppy bitterness in finish. Very unusual but works really well.

UPDATED: AUG 13, 2011 Bottle. Deep amber beer with a white head. Aroma is moderately fruity and loaded with peach and melons along with orange peel. Very floral with lavender, rose petals and even a kiss of spicy/citrusy hops on the back. Flavour shows loads of aromatic peach fruitiness and heady floral character. Bright fruity bitterness. It’s a very unusual beer and it’s hard to believe that there isn’t fruit juice or artificial fruit flavourings in here. It’s not really sweet per se, but it’s so fruity that it appears to be. 7 3 6 3 12 Forgot that I’d had this before, but I’ll enter the rerate nonetheless. Bottle at the Grove Arms. Deep golden pour with a thin white head. The aroma is very floral and fruity. Sort of juicy fruit and some tart berries in addition to a pronounced spiciness. Palate is quite bitter with a lot of fresh lavender and some roses. Bright citrus and a touch of herbal bitterness. Really bright and very unique. Tasty stuff.

Bottle 10 C As good as the golden pride- Lovely fruity flavours, peachy and melony.

First, the aroma - peaches and apricots are to the fore. Amazing. The flavour isn’t so striking but this is still a very pleasant beer.

A melon-peach aroma with the melon being prominent. Dark tan color with light brown head. Flavor primarily peach with melon fading - fruit flavor just detectable without being overwhelming. I found this beer enjoyable for what it was - a good choice to impress a girl on a date - no bitterness at all (passed my mother-in-law’s taste test).
