Bottle. POured redish hazy color with the smell of syrup and some peach. Taste was alittle off with some peach and mustyness. Not great at all.

Aug 27, 2008 Clear golden with medium off white head. Sweet peachy aroma with mild barnyard notes. Flavor likviditet that ends sweet.

Clear medium orange color with a average, frothy, fair lancing, mostly diminishing, off-white to white head. Aroma is light peach, green apple notes. Flavor is moderate sweet with a average duration. Body is medium to light, texture is watery to oily, carbonation is soft. (040608)

Aug 8, 2008 Bottle. Must admit, I don’t like peach (or fruit actually, except for the occasional good kriek). This was no difference. Too sweet, too peachy. Not even a nice lemonade. Blegh!

Jun 20, 2008 Pours clear bronze with a large rocky head. The aroma has stale overripe peaches, musty malt, canned fruit syrup and absolutely none of the tartness that I love in a lambic. Medium body that is a bit slick and sticky with moderate carbonation. The flavor begins with canned peaches with extra syrup and spice. The finish is peppery and sweet. This is okay and pretty enjoyable for a fruit beer, but far from what I look for in a lambic.

As I pour this a floral note of peaches mixes with a lactic tart aroma. A reasonable pour produces an almost two-finger thick, light tan colored head that sits on top of a clear, amber colored beer that shows a brilliantly clear, full copper color when held up to the light. A fuller inspection of the nose yields more lactic sourness, more than I was expecting from this beer. Floral peach notes are here as well, but they actually play less of a role than the tartness; a peach flesh floral note becomes a bit more noticeable as I get used to the tartness. This really is quite floral smelling.
Quite sweet tasting, more than I was expecting given the tart leaning aroma. There is some tartness here, but the sweetness does a good job of drowning it out at first, luckily it is substantial enough that it cant be repressed and it does help to balance the ample sweetness. While this is sweet and fruity tasting, in fact amply so, this does not scream peach; this makes sense as I have found that peach is more floral than being a distinctive flavor in and of itself. This has a fairly viscous body and heft to it. Thicker than your typical soda, but probably at least as sweet as one. There is a prickly carbonation here as well that probably helps to lighten this beer just a touch.
Not really beer, even the noticed tartness doesn’t make this seem any more like a Lambic.
