Golden in color with a small white lacing around the rim. Tart peach aroma. Subtle floral hops and peach flavor.

Sampled at the 2012 Keene, NH Beerfest. The pour is olive-yellow with a fizzy white head and some haze. This is a fruit beer so I am giving a high mark for aroma because...wow...does it smell like peaches! It is most definitely a fruit beer. It is also very malty. The body is light and refreshing. The taste is peachy with a clean crisp finale. Good for what it is.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear golden amber with a thin white head. Juicy peach and apricot. A touch too sweet, but fairly clean. Toast, sweet grain and more toast. Light bitterness and peach on the finish.

On tap at Elm City. Pours a golden color with a small white head and some sticky lace. Aroma is mild peach and a hint of wheat. Good body with average carbonation. Taste is peaches with a wheat background.

on tap-pours a white head and hazy yellow color. Aroma is peachy, musty, grain. Taste is peachy, musty, grain. Creamy. Good effervescence.

This beer pours a crisp clean dark gold that leaves a white sticky lace on the glass. The nose is sweet, fresh peach, tart apple, a strong wheat presence, very nice complex aroma. The taste starts sweet on the palate with a strong sun kissed ripe peach fruity taste on the palate, fantastic. It follows with a nice bitter hop presence to balance out the sweetness in the beer. The finish brings you back to a sweet massage of fruity brisk crispness on the palate.

Lightly hazed apple juice body with white head. Aroma is moderately sweet, strong peach, light syrup but pretty fresh. Taste is medium sweet, peach (not as intense as the aroma), some earthy, light apple. Leaves a nice peachy finish. Light-medium body, hint of syrup but pretty clean.
