hopdog (4778), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 27, 2005 Bottle acquired in trace with DarkElf (thanks!). Pured a light a slightly cloudy yellow color with an averaged sized white head. Strong peach aroma. Less peach in the taste. Lightly sour with a light sweet finish. Body was thin and watery. May be a good beer to slam on a very hot day if peach tasting water is your thing. bu11zeye (3887), Frisco, Texas, USA May 27, 2007 (Bottle) Pours a murky golden body with a small white head. Powerful peach aroma. Flavor of what else but...peaches... with a nice carbonation in the mouthfeel. beerguy101 (3542), Newark, California, USA Sep 26, 2002 Light gold color, large head. Medium bodied ale, with peach flavoring. Lightly malts and hops. Good balance. Peach flavor is prevalent, but not overpowering or too sweet. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean. Aftertaste is malty and ‘peachy’ (sorry about that). OK for a fruit beer bhensonb (3129), Woodland, California, USA Jun 23, 2007 The aroma is white peach. Almost ripe nectarine. Hazy gold color with a white head that heads towards film, but halts with something a bit more. Foamy carbonation that doesn’t have much bite. Might be a bit thin bodied, but the foam turns it into creamy, almost medium feel. The overwhelming aspect is the peach, but it has a slight sour (or tart) component, like a nectarine or slightly green white peach. There is a very slight sweetness, perhaps coming from wheat malt, but it’s the peach that’s the point. The finish is dry, near astringent, and puckerish. Kind of like sucking on a peach pit. Heck of a fruit beer. Finishes much like an ale, and, after all, it should since this is at least unpasteurized, if not real. Unexpectedly pleasing. DarkElf (2681), La Jolla, California, USA Oct 25, 2005 <i>(22 oz bottle: $3.39 at Holiday Wine Cellar in Escondido, CA)</i> Stinson Beach Peach is a true girlie beer, but I’m not ashamed to admit I rather like this tasty peach treat. It’s very light on malt, there’s not even a hint of sweetness, and hops is non-existent, and this allows the tart, authentic peach flavor to dominate the beer. Thankfully, the peach flavor is isn’t artificial or perfumy tasting. There’s a slightly dusty-tasting finish, but otherwise, this is all about the peach. A very peachy aroma burst out of the bottle the second I popped the cap, and continues to do so as I drink this beer. This thin bodied beer is chalky, effervescent, lively and very refreshing on the palate. Pale straw in color with a solid cloudiness. Fizzy snow white head sounds like soda as it dissipates quickly down to a ring. Pretty easy to drink, no sweet, cloying aftertaste, and lower in alcohol, so I’ve had no problem draining this bomber.
