Bottle, 4.5%. Peach candy aroma. Clear dark golden colour. The flavour has less sweetness than the aroma, but there is still plenty of peach flavour. Too much, actually.

Bottle @ home. Expectations were not too high after the Fursty Ferret, but this was quite good actually. Looks nice, amber colour, white head. Very fruity (peach) nose, little cardboard in there, some hops. Taste is peach, but not too sweet, so quite refreshing. Nice hoppy finish.

Bottle. Amber, little head. Aroma of peach, passion fruit, pineapple. Medium body with plentiful fizzy carbonation. Very fruity, especially peaches, with some nice hoppy bitterness in finish. Very unusual but works really well.

[First rate, 31/1/2008 - 500ml bottle from Asda, High Wycombe. RB score: 3.9] Opening the bottle reveals the overwhelming smell of peach blossom room freshener - nearly poured it on the pot pourri! Taste initially dominated by sweet peach - far closer to an alcopop than a beer. At this point I was distinctly unsure whether to continue to drink it. However, soon the hops and a dry bitterness comes through, and by the end of the pint you realise how well balanced it is. It definitely needs to be served cold. I ended up loving this beer and would certainly have it again. However, I also believe it’s one of those love it or hate it beers. [2nd rate 11/7/2010: Dad shared with me, cheers! RB score 7/3/7/3/14 (3.4)] Yup, peach, dry bitterness etc as before, but found it rather thin in body this time, have reduced my mark slightly. Still surprisingly good though! [3rd rate, bottle from Maureen & Dave - cheers! RB score: 7/3/6/3/13 (3.2) Very fizzy. each tastes very artificial this time & a definite hint of metal. Still oddly fond of it though. Overall score posted is an average of all rates.

Clear golden brown body under a thin white head. Perfumed smell of apricot, peaches and berries. Even more fruits and berries in the taste. Quite sugary sweet and leaves an artificial and synthetic impression. More a fruity alcopop, than a blonde ale. 500ml bottle from Sainsburys, TCR (St. Giles hotel, 30.04.2008).

50cl bottle: Copper gold with a egg white head. Hop aroma - peach, citrus, floral & grassy. Very fruity - mainly hops. Medium body & carbonation. A bit sweet. The heavy peachy notes gets too dominating! Fresh & drinkable beer!
