Poured into a chalice from a 12 ounce bottle from 2012.

A: Slightly hazy straw colored body with a white head that has poor retention.

S: Tarty and sweet peaches, not as intimidating as I remember.

T: Rather tart with hints of peaches, reminds me of chewing on a very young peach. On the second sip the tart goes a bit away and allows the peaches to show through more. The finish is semi-dry.

M: Light bodied with mildly sharp carbonation.

O: Not as bad as I remembered and it’s a bit tame on the tart from what I was expecting. This is something I need time to warm up to as a newbie to the style.

Pours yellow with white head. Smell is malty with sweet peach. Taste is quite fruity with unripe peach tartness and herbs. Med-light bodied. After taste has some wheat in it, but it quite thin and short lived. It’s not bad and it is interesting. I probably won’t drink it again though.

Lukaduke (122) - Portland, Maine, USA - MAY 27, 2012
Pours a light peach fuzz straw color with a slight head that vanishes instantly.... Aromas are ripe peach, malts and just a hint of tartness. On the palate its malty peachness is a bit overpowering... I remember this being a little more tart last year. Its drinkable but it taste so much like peaches n cream oatmeal that Im pretty sure Im gonna have to pawn off the rest of the 4pack to random guests this summer : ) It not bad but Id much rather a banhof berliner weiss... wish there was more tartness and less peach juicy flavors...

Pours clear gold with a thick light head. Not too fruity, but it does taste like peach/lemon citrus if you allow it to linger. Some malt taste as well. A tad watery but overall not bad. This is better than it sounds.

Honestly the worst I’ve had from DFH and I don’t believe I’ve had many "craft beers" lower than this one. Sorry Sam!

agillespie81 (305) - Denver, Colorado, USA - MAY 6, 2012
Aroma - heavy peach sweetness; Appearance - light golden, somewhat hazy, thick fluffy head, thin lacing; Taste - sharply tart peach front, mild wheat back, dry finish with a slight tang; Palate - crisp though not overly done, good body; Overall - very unique despite the style, overpowering at first yet on the verge of addicting with every sip.

Very refreshing and summery beer. I can’t imagine it would be any good if not drank on a bright sunny day outside. Very sweet, I don’t think I could drink more than a couple.

This is a refreshing beer. Not sure I could drink several but i would offer this to anyone. Offers something for non-drinkers and fruity-beer types as well. Slight tart, vibrant peaches.

kayres (50) - , Georgia, USA - APR 4, 2012
Crystal clear orange yellow with a rapidly dissipating white head. Smells like a kids sugary berry cereal (ie kind of artificial). Strange palate-big tingly mouthfeel. Hints of berry in flavor. Sweet honey floral notes ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Hazy pale yellow with a quarter inch head that fades rather quickly. It smells lightly of banana and cloves, the phenols weissbier yeast create. There is also a slight sour aroma. The taste is tart with notes of funk. Light bodied.
