12oz bottle poured into a pint. Nose is sharply tart and lightly peachy with hints of lemon. Very pale in the glass almost looks like a bud or other crappy lager. Flavor is highly refreshing and much better than my score might suggest. Sharply tart the peach comes through a little but the lemon tartness dominates, the fermentation has really brought out an almost wild yeasty tart and sour finish thats extremely refreshing. I like it alot but its not going to score very high as its pretty one dimensional.

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.

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.

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.
