330ml bottle from RusBeerShop in Moscow. Pours hazy yellow with a medium-sized white head. Aroma is peaches, oranges. Taste is peaches, light hoppiness, slightly bitter citrus zest, a little bit watery. Smells amazing, but the taste is a bit weak.

Tap @ Pühaste Kelder. Pours yellow golden with a thick white foam. Nose is soft fruity, dry and light hops. Tastes dry, light peach - or at least some fruits - and mediun bitterness. Not really sweet but simple light hoppy beer, drinks easy.

Bottle from Tesco, drunk at home. Light yellow with an orange hue. Peaches, gooseberry and Sauv Blanc in the aroma. Sweet taste with a bitter hop note near the finish. A bit of plastic in the aftertaste alongside the peach and apple butter. Highly carbonated. Pretty good.

33cl bottle. Poured a hazy straw colour with a long-lasting frothy white head. The aroma is yeast, fresh crispy peach fruit. The flavour is light bitter with a fresh, light tart citrus, mineral, grainy, light dry hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation.

Keg at Rose and Thistle, Frimley. Part of the Thornbridge residency that their chain is doing. Yes, it smells of peaches, if slightly muted. Some hoppyness too. Pale gold. Slightly hazy. Very thin white head. Light bitter. The sweetness of peaches comes through, with some quinine right at the finish. Thin and light bodied. Fizzy carbonation. Dry finish. Long but understated. The latter applies to the beer as a whole. The peach element is not overdone but it's all quite low key. Kinda drab.
