Low-alcohol fruit beer with pale yellow blonde colour, hazy with little sparkling but cloudy and almost witbier-like with deposit, under a thin and quickly breaking, off-white head. Saison-like and definitely ’fruited’ aroma of lime, barnyard, wet hay, stale sweat, dried lemon peel, sourish grains, pineapple, mango, passionfruit, manzanilla, tulips and wild flowers, artisanal cider, shampoo, and finally peach indeed but could be purely from esters - if I didn’t know actual peaches have been applied here, I would probably never have detected them (which is not necessarily a bad thing - I’m not the greatest fan of sweet fruit beers to begin with). Refinedly sweet onset, feeling very ’natural’, with fruity esters (mango, passion fruit, starfruit) adding up to a basic fruit presence of ripe peach, sweet with a lemony sourish touch, minerally carbo but not too ’agressive’, refreshing, slick mouthfeel with somewhat oily feel to it, bit yeasty, pale malt sweetness underlying the persisting fruit flavour (both the sweet and the sour), dryish, yeasty finish, bit powdery even, obviously thin body seen its low ABV, some subtle herbal hop bitterishness in the background. This is actually very refreshing, I can imagine enjoying this cold on a summer day; there is a funky saison-like aspect to it, and it sure feels natural and artisanal. The actual fruit provides more ’vivid’ fruit acidity than sweetness, which makes it all the more refreshing. Interesting, though I have to admit this still belongs to the lesser Struise brews I had so far.

Small white head, fast gone over pale golden beer, quite carbonated looks. Fresh fruity nose, green fruit, bit of ureum, floral, mildly perfumed. Grains, actually, and slight maltsugar. Not very fruity in the flavour, but again quite floral, blossoms indeed! Light body, medium carbonated after a short while. Nice session ale, refreshing, but I’m still searching for the peaches.

750 ml bottle. Rather clear pale golden bidy, just a bit cloudy towards the bottom of the bottle with a small white head. Lovely fruity aroma dominated by peach. Flavor is light, very soft malt, quite sweet, mostly peach and a touch of fruity acidity. Quite thin body and peach in aftertaste. Decent thirst quencher, but frankly I think this is could be made from almost any kind of half decent low bitter pale ale just adding peach juice. Maybe not, but I’m not that impressed. The aroma is the best part.

Blond body, white head. Aroma of yellow fruit, rather unbalanced. Lightly sweet, lightly bitter start, finishes annoyingly sweet. Rather unbalanced.
