12 ounce bottle into lager glass, best before 1/24/2018. Pours slightly hazy/cloudy medium golden yellow color with a 1 finger dense and fluffy white head with great retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a light amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big juicy and lightly tart/tangy peaches, fruit skin, cracker, white bread dough, honey, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance of peaches, pale malt, and light earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of juicy and lightly tart/tangy peaches, fruit skin, cracker, white bread dough, honey, light pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Light herbal/grassy/spicy hop bitterness and fruit tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/tangy peaches, fruit skin, cracker, white bread dough, honey, pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness and balance of peaches, pale malt, and light earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness and fruit tartness balance, and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Perfectly clean on lager flavors, with zero yeast notes present. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and fruit tang/tartness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, and lightly sticky/tangy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.5%. Overall this is a very good fruited pale lager style. All around nice robustness and balance of peaches, pale malt, and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink. Very flavorful and never watery for the ABV. Well balanced fruit and pale malt flavors; with solid earthy hop presence. Flavors did not match up to the aromas on fruit presence, but this was still a very enjoyable and well made offering.

Bottle. A- Peach, gummies, A- Golden yellow color, hazy liquid, white head. T- Peach, gummy bears, P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, sweet finish. O- The first whiff of the aroma is nice but it gets to be too gummy like and artificial tasting. Plenty of peach it just doesn’t taste natural and is really too much. Decent enough, but one was plenty.

Hazy yellow pour with a khaki head and decent retention. Minimal lacing. Very strong peach nose. As expected, it tastes like a peach-flavored lager. Nice sweet light summer beer.

12 ounce bottle from Whole Foods Milwaukee, 10/8/16. Hazy orange, large foamy white head, fair retention. Aroma of canned peaches and pale malt. The taste is the same. Thin.

Tap at Mellow. Pours a clear gold with a finger of foam. Huge white peach nose that I can smell from 30 cm away. It’s like a peach extract bomb. Completely overwhelms the sensory nodes. Can’t really taste the beer at all. Sweet, but clean, but just too much peach flavor really. Weird chemical lingering taste on the palate.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy vibrant yellow gold color with a huge creamy yellow-white head that rose over the glass, lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was sweet peach skin and peach flesh. The flavor was bitey artificial sugar, artificial peach and cardboard. Long finish. Medium body. disappointing.
