Tap. The bartender warns, "this ones really sour". OK, should I taste it first or just take the plunge. I dove. Pours a off-yellow with a light haze and a maybe 1/4" head. Nose is citric but no discernable peaches. Flavor I would describe as pleasently tart. Sour has a negative connotation. Refreshingly tart. A peach essence arrives about three quarters of the way through a sip, returning to the tart finish. I get more Sauvignon Blanc than the described comparable wine. I really like this one, very quenching and I enjoyed the slightly puckering tartness that this brew brings. Could definately bump up the peach experience so that it is more formidable.

Aug 29, 2008 Very light gold color, thin, with a thin head that quickly dissipates. Dry aroma of wheat malt, citrus, peach, spices. Similar to a Belgian wit but without the sweetness. Slightly funky. Dry flavor, wheat malt with lots of peach. Thin and dry, yet a good sweetness seems to come from the peaches. Very interesting and well-balanced, going back and forth from dry to sweet, thin to rich. It’s really fun, and slightly funky. Spicy, citrus. It is really interesting, original, and especially well done.

Aug 26, 2008 Alefest sample filtered through berries. Cloudy yellow with a small head. Aroma is straight up raspberries and peach which is okay but not really what I look for in a beer. Malt? Hops? Flavor is sweet with a lot of sourness. I’m not big on sour but whatever. I’m tired of describing this.

Aug 23, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours very pale, somewhat hazy gold with a giant fizzy head that delays a full pour by several minutes. Aroma is very sour, but that’s about it. Interesting sour flavor with some definite wheat and fruity flavors, one of which is indeed peach alongside apple and pear. A little sweetness along with the sourness. Rather thin palate. Definitely an interesting beer; interesting enough to make me want to try some more sour beers.
