It’s good. But my back in ruined so it took the extra effort to get it from my beer fridge so it has to be good

Deep copper and bronze coloured body with a very thin off-white head that fades quite quickly and leaves nothing on top. Aroma of light peach, a dose of soured funk, some funky yeasts and a light cardboardie and lightly earthy malt notes with a light dose of flowers as well, all quite dry. Very Light-Bodied: Strong dry and subdued fruit notes which show more sourness than sugars, with only a tiny bit of malt noticeable along with a dash of funky yeast and a light dryness from the fruit at the end, very subtle and super easy-drinking. Aftertaste shows the grass and dry floral notes with some peaches, apricots, sour notes and a dash of wheat without much else left of anything. Overall, a pretty soft and understated beer with much depth, complexity or range - this is all very light and simplistic, a tiny amount of fruits and even less malt, without anything else. Not worth grabbing, unless you like the alcoholic seltzer water that they are selling now, and then this one would be acceptable, otherwise there are hundreds of goses or Berliners out there that are much better than this! I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Harris Teeter in Arlington (Pentagon Row), Virginia on 23-October-2019 for US$7,69/six pack, sampled at home in Washington on 07-April-2020, a few blocks away.

Nope, its not out of production; admin, please fix listing! Clear pale. Big white fading head. Lots of visible carbonation. First taste is not bad, was expecting worse but now I see it has a slight tart attitude about it. Yes, the peaches are annoying but its not over the top and its not too artificial. Good balance of fruit and tartness. almost like a gose. OK brew. Good sizzle from start to finish.

12 ounce can into signature globe glass; canned on 8/14/2019, best before 2/16/2020. Pours slightly hazy/cloudy deep golden amber color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin lacing cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas if big juicy/tart/tangy peaches, fruit fuzz/skin/pits, lemon, lime, orange, pear, melon, red/green apple, white grape/wine, oak, peppercorn, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, and white bread; with lighter notes of oaken vanilla, cinnamon, leathery/musty/lacto funk, and yeast/oak earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of peaches, fruity/funky/acidic yeast, moderate pale/wheat malts, and light-moderate oak barrel notes; with big strength. Taste of big juicy/tart/tangy peaches, fruit fuzz/skin/pits, lemon, lime, orange, pear, melon, red/green apple, white grape/wine, oak, peppercorn, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, and white bread; with lighter notes of oaken vanilla, cinnamon, leathery/musty/lacto funk, and yeast/oak earthiness. Light-moderate fruity/lactic tartness, fruit tang, and yeast/oak tannin spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of juicy/tart/tangy peaches, fruit fuzz/skin/pits, lemon, lime, orange, pear, melon, red/green apple, white grape/wine, oak, peppercorn, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread, light leathery/musty/lacto funk, and yeast/oak earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of peaches, fruity/funky/acidic yeast, moderate pale/wheat malts, and light-moderate oak barrel flavors; with a fantastic malt/tart/tangy/spiciness balance, with no puckering/astringent flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering tart/tangy/spiciness, and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, and acidic/tangy/tannic balanced mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.3%. Overall this is an excellent fruited sour ale. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of peaches, fruity/funky/acidic yeast, moderate pale/wheat malts, and light-moderate oak barrel flavors; very smooth, refreshing, and fairly crisp/clean to drink with the mellowly acidic/tangy/tannic/drying finish. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Great balance of vibrant/juicy peaches, Brett/Bacteria complexity, and pale/wheat malts against acidity; with nice overall oak presence from the 20% wood aged sour blend. A very enjoyable offering, and impressive style example as expected of the brewery.

[12oz can from Albertson's, Fullerton, CA.] A clear amber pour with a fast fading white head; sour fruity aroma with traces of peach; peachy flavour to start, then quite tart and refreshing; with a watery malt finish with a lingering sourness. Light and refreshing.

Can from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours clear, bright gold with a white head. Aroma is bready and peach - maybe a touch of sour. Med minus body. Flavor is peach, a touch of breadiness, and the barest hint of sour. Drinks easy. Lake beer for sure.
