Not always big on peach beers but this one is nice without being over the top.

Quarantine Beer #014 sampled at home on 03/15/2020. Clear straw-gold color with a medium thin white head that burns away quickly to a film. Sparse strings of lace. Aroma of apple, wheat and peach. Light-bodied with flavors of peach, apple, wheat and malt. The finish is fruity and malty with a peach aftertaste. Decent overall.

From the start this stuff comes across as rather perfumy and cloying. Its a pounder can. Falling fruit; you mean like when its on the ground, off the branch, fermenting with menacing yellah-jackets all round? Even the nose, when you pop it, is mildly perfume sweet olfactory. Look, I make my own apple cider sometimes and I don't think the greatest of its taste, but this is oddly like it. Except perhaps this has an artificial apricot feel about it. Needs more tart and less sweet. Hey, if you like fruit beers, you better check this out; its very unique, indeed. Man, that sweet perfumey thing really hits my tongue in the end like a bra from a perfume laden barmaid. Difficult finish.

16 ounce can into pint glass, canned on 6/14/2018. Pours slightly hazy medium golden yellow color with a 2 finger fairly dense and rocky white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big juicy/tart/tangy peaches, red/green/crisp apples, fruit skin/pits, pear, apricot, melon, light pepper/clove, wheat, cracker, white bread, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of fruit, pale/wheat malts, fruity/light spicy yeast, and light earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big juicy/tart/tangy peaches, red/green/crisp apples, fruit skin/pits, pear, apricot, melon, light pepper/clove, wheat, cracker, white bread, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate fruit tang/tartness; light herbal/grassy bitterness, and yeast spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of juicy/tart/tangy peaches, red/green/crisp apples, fruit skin/pits, pear, apricot, melon, pepper, clove, wheat, cracker, white bread, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruit, pale/wheat malts, fruity/light spicy yeast, and light earthy hop flavors; with a nice malt/bitter/spicy and tart/tangy fruit balance; with minimal astringent flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitter/spiciness and tart/tangy fruit. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, bready/grainy, and fairly sticky/tangy/acidic balanced mouthfeel that is nice. No warming alcohol for 5.8%. Overall this is a delicious fruit beer. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruit, pale/wheat malts, fruity/light spicy yeast, and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, and pretty refreshing to drink with the modestly tart/bitter/spicy/drying finish. Tons of authentic juicy fruits with balanced pale/wheat malts and American wheat yeast; with light earthy hop bitter balance. Not overdone on any aspect. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.
