OK, so I live in the country and I like peaches, but not sure about wheat ales and I like hefes, so what can I expect? I must also say that like saranac, shiner has a special place in my heart as one of the first craft companies I became familiar with back in the middle 90's. This can pours clear light pale. It has a decent head that fades rapidly. The nose is quite mild peach perfume, nothing artificial yet. First flavor seems to be mild in the wheat ale attribute, nothing really bitter but you can tell its a wheat ale fer sher. This is followed up with some peach, mind you, its there but not over the top nor in yer face. Seems to be well balanced for a peach ale, many domestic varieties come across over balanced with peach flavoring and its usually artificial in flavor. Not minding this peacy version, it's yielding a decent session. Finishes with a friendly peach tang, but never really gets tart; just simply a mild wheat ale, lacking tons of wheat ale bitterness, with just a tad of friendly peach presence. Decent carbonation throughout.

12 oz. can from HEB in Boerne, TX. Pours a semi-clear gold color with a white head and great retention. Spots of lacing. Strong peach aroma. Nice natural peach flavor in a basic wheat base beer. Reminds me of a Magic Hat #9. Tasty peach flavor without being too fruity. Light body. Light carbonation. Not bitter. A smooth, clean, and refreshing summer beer.

Bottle from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. Pours gold with a transient white head. Aroma of ripe peach, but there's a Jolly Rancher aspect to it. Near med body. Flavor is nice ripe peach, with some wheat that's quite noticeable. A very, very light bit of candy. Those must be super sugary peaches.
