Dogfish Head Festina Peche

Brewed by Dogfish Head Brewery
Style: Berliner Weisse
Milton, Delaware USA

Golden unfiltered pour lots of carbonation ... aroma of wheat, peaches and bready malt ... not very high on aroma .... a wheat taste bready malt then a tart bite of peach that lingers ... flavor got better as I drank it .... a good beer with a different taste

Bottle/12 - Pours a pale yellow-amber i color with a small white head that settled to a thin covering over the beer. Aroma is light, but some grainy malts, some bready yeasts, slightly sour/tart and the barest hint of peaches. Flavor is much different than the aroma would lead me to. Very tart. Still not getting much of the peach, but I like the sharp sour flavor and the clean crisp finish. I ended up liking this more as a drank it... pretty good actually...

I went from hating this beer to really enjoying it seemingly overnight. The aroma has some peach and a lot of lactic tartness along with wheat and what I think is pilsner malt. Appearance is a glowing bright yellowish orange, pretty cool. Taste is very similar to those sour gummy peach candies, a mixture of crisp hard peach sweetness and the sour flavor of squishy yellow peaches. I really like this beer with some age on it; the peach flavor is still thriving months later and the tartness is on point. Not a stomach burner, and a solid take on a style that is becoming a favorite.

Had on tap. Very good nose is a smooth peach, slightly sour. Taste is too tart for me. I like some sour beers but this one was a bit stronger than my taste. I can see the appeal, just not my bag of chips.

Bottle. Poured pale semi cloudy orange with thin fast dissipating white head. Aroma is wheat malt and peaches. Very tart flavour, tongue puckery, but not sour. Light body. Tart finish with a bit of a peach edge.

12oz. Pale straw colored body, hazy, medium-small white head became a ring. Faint aroma of peach and citrus, doughy and sour like a lambic, champaign-like. Light-medium body with fizzy carbonation, long wet, mouth-watering finish. Flavor is grass, lemon, peach, noticeably sour, lightly spicy, mild hops on the finish. Tastes about like a light wheat beer that’s been fermented by a yeast or bacteria that made it really sour. Very quenching. Tastes good cold, but it’s hard to drink it fast enough to finish it cold. Might try it over ice next time.

12 oz. bottle- Pours like a wit beer only with very little head, aroma is suprisingly little, I can’t even pinpoint any standout aroma-kind of boring. The flavor is totally diferent, holy shit this is pungent, very tart, but beyond that it lacks depth and kind of bland after your mouth puckers. I love tart, but that was the only interesting thing about this beer, Dogfish Head can do better than this.

Just really not a fan of fruit beer. Poured peach colored with off white head, aroma is bready with some peaches, and the taste is peaches with some bread as well, finishes sweet like juice.
