A hazed blonde ale with a thin white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with loads of peach, pear, Epsom salts, light Brett, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity malt with loads of pop corn butter, light acidity, light Brett, Epsom salts, very nice. 8-3-8-4-15

Rating against an American Sour Ale not a Belgian Lambic.
Draught at Row 34, 2/22/17.
Lightly-to-minimally hazy, golden-amber with a small, beige and peach-flecked head that fades to cover quickly.
Peach in the nose is clear, authentic and fairly well-integrated with the beer character, which itself adds plentiful lactic and Brett acids to provide light band aid and leather that combines well with the stone fruit minerality and strong funk. Lots of skin, acid and pit character which really works nicely with the funky character of the "lambic". I find the jammier renditions of fruit sours still enjoyable but far inferior to the renditions where the fruit is more highly macerated/integrated with the rest of the beer. Anyhow, light oak, but low toastiness with light caramel-tinged honey from the malt and some acetic character, but nowhere near what I remember Upland having when they first started.
Flavor-wise, the beer is quite acidic with lots of oak tannin, vanilla, honey, caramel, etc...quite amply malty, with plentiful lactic and light acetic acids. The peach flavor is fantastic, with spicy pit, leathery skin and tons of juicy acidity. Sour, but not intensely so; certainly has let-up over the years. Moderate amounts of engaging carbonation and a soft, lightly oily texture with no alcohol or flaw.

Sample at Aficionado’s during the "Big Bad Bottle Share" on 02/10/2017. Hazy orange color with a thin white head that burns away quickly to a film. Short strings of lacing. Aroma of funky peach, yeast and malt. Light to medium body with a sweet-tart peach character and notes of funky yeast and doughy malt. The finish is fruity with a peach and lemon aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Bottle shared with and courtesy of a limping but not too distressed marmot in Deanso’s garage. Very hazy orange with a ring white head. Aroma is lactic, damp, tart peach and mineral notes. Flavour is heavy sour (though not the worst burn straight through your body and give you a second asshole like Upland "lambics" can be). Medium bodied with a lactic burn and soft carbonation.

Bottle shared at Dean’s last Stand. No head. Very hazy light amber pour. Sour with some peach.

Level 42 Bottle share. Thanks to Coleeen. Very hazy gold beer, some lonely cream colour bubbles. Palate is light and semi dry, modest fine carbonation. Light coconut, a little coconut cream. Sour peach with a dose of lemon. Mild acid. Generic fruits. Light finish. Coconut linger. Not bad. Like the coconut, not sure it was intended though!

Bottle shared on Level 42, 09/06/2016. Many thanks to Colin for this one. A clouded dark orange coloured pour with a small white head. Aroma is funky horsey sour, coconut, lemon. Flavour is composed of coconut, caramac bar, sour peach and pineapple. Palate is milky, medium bodied, moderate carbonation. Nice funky sour character.
