Starkeller Peach is hazy, golden orange in color and bursts with the aroma of ripe peach skin. It is full-bodied and fairly dry, with the sweet, tart flavor of peaches, lemons, and nectarines. Sixteen months in the making, Starkeller Peach was first brewed with an extensive decoction mash schedule, fermented with an authentic mixed-culture and aged for nearly a year before 5,500 pounds of peaches were added to ferment for an additional four months. The resulting beer has pronounced tropical fruit aromas, a tart peach flavor, and an intensely acidic, fruity character.

The aroma is are sour, funky fruit and just maybe peaches and/or apricots. Same for the flavor, fairly dry and sour but I can't really pick out the fruit variety. Too sour for me personally.

Bottled April 2015 so just over 5 years old.

Pours a hazy peachy gold with a minimal head of foam, no lacing.

Sweet and sour aromas of peach, lemon, other pitted light fruit.

Wonderful peach tartness with a bit of sweet, lemon sourness, perhaps tangerines or another light pitted fruit. Very tasty and somewhat dry.

Lightish body with carbonation that is almost champagne like.

Wow is all that I can say.

Bottle. Pours murky Arnold Palmer, small fizzy of white head, some residual and lacing. Aroma is stonefruit, lactic, lemon, , peach flesh. Flavor is light tart, lots of stone fruit, a bit earthy, lemon, musky, lingering tartness that increases in prominence in the finish. Fairly robust body. Faint touch of acetone

GTMW 2015. Cloudy yellow. Low carbonation. Lots of peach flavor and aroma. It is sour, with perceivable yeast and fruit, and probably the most intense fruit flavor I have had in a Schell’s beer aside from the "Too Many Peaches," which I believe was a one off. In any event, this beer is sour, and blended well with the peaches. --- Beer merged from original tick of Noble Star Collection: Starkeller Peach on 09 Oct 2021 at 15:42 - Score: 8

Bottle thanks to Eric. Pours a cloudy orange with small white head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is strong peach juice and nectarine. Thin mouth, tart peach, light funk, straight peach juice, really enjoyed this one.
