Bottled. A light amber beer with a nice though bubbly orangey head. The aroma has notes strong of peaches - a bit too much for me. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of peaches as well as notes of metal, alcohol, and malt - all in all a cloying coctail, leading to a sweet, dry, metallic, and peachy finish.

From tap. Pours hazy dark orange with a small white head. Aroma is peach fruity, light malty. Sweet, sticky and peachy. Good fruity beer - but strange to see this from Bush. Bitter and dry phenolic finish with a persisting peachy note.

Bottled (from beerplanet.eu). Hazy orangeish brown colour with a mediumsized off-white head. Aroma is caramel malts, some mild alcohol, artificial tropical fruit juice as well as mild wooden notes. Flavour is artificial tropical fruit juice, some stinging alcohol as well as mild wooden and malty notes. Not that bad, but rather strange.

Bottled at Pressklubben, Stockholm. Hazy deep golden, small head. Faintly tart peach aroma, some butter. Getting sweeter and a bit syrupy. Medium bodied with rounded mouthfeel. A hint of bubblregum. A notch above the average fruit swill.
