Deep amber coloured body with a very thin, half centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of peaches (of course), funk, cardboard, alcohol, malt and light grain. Medium-bodied; Very assertive peach and apricot flavour at first with a lot of fruits, some sweetness and finishes with a very funky and offensive cardboard and super stale malt/rice flavour. Aftertaste shows more of the funk with the gross cardboard and very earthy/musty flavour for the duration of the finish, until you take the next sip which shows the peaches at first, but of course, they die out soon afterwards. Overall, a pretty poor beer, but after a few seconds of the taste, it gets even worse. This one isn’t worth trying even, or especially picking it up and keeping it for any time at all. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Harris Teeter in Arlington (Pentagon Row), Virginia on 08-January-2016 for US$1,67 sampled at home in Washington on 19-January-2016.

Bottle. Pours brownish amber with a large beige head. Smells of peach jolly rancher. Lots of peach flavor and malt. Not overly bitter or sweet. Surprisingly tasty.

Bottle. Peach and bready wheat malt aroma. Amber with large light tan head. Lightly sweet peach, light cinnamon/coriander, and wheat malt flavor. Light bitter dry hay finish. Okay - bitterness seems to clash with the peach flavor.

Bottle: Pours deep, clear copper with a tall tan head. Peach-skin aroma. Taste is sweet, syrupy peach. A little heavy on the coriander.... Not great, but OK if you are a peach fan, I suppose.

Bottle. A copper orange pour, topped with a thin creamy beige head. Quite a bit of spotty lacing. Nose is a little musty; peach and malt. Not great, but not offensive. Tastes fine, more peach and not immediately any artificial signs. The coriander is minor, it could go away and I’d be fine with it, and the malt bill settles into the background. I like peach brews so this was OK, but it really isn’t anything special.
