Bottle @ home, thanks to lukaduke. Pours a fairly clear, light golden orange appearance with a thin head. Aroma has a fair amount of acid, oak, vanilla, lots of peaches, cheese, and funk. Moderately sour. Lots of peach and pear notes. The flavor has some white wine, apple sauce, lemon juice, and more peaches. Carbonation is a little low. Overall, nice flavor and good drinkability. Just a little more carbonation could go a long way in this beer. Still pretty damn solid american sour ale.

Draught at R&B, Portland location, 3/6/16. Moderately hazy, copper-peach colored body is topped by a small, modestly well-retained off-white head. Tons of delightful bacterial-induced acids in the nose are joined by a very fragrant, juicy, tart peach. Vanilla, honey and very light caramel form the malt backbone and provide just enough malt richness to balance the strong acidity. Light oak sits in the background, pleasantly. No alcohol or flaws. Peach acids, lactic and acetic notes and succulent caramel and honey notes from the malts provide ample balance, as a woody dryness keeps things very crisp and drinkable on the end. Really fantastically extracted peach flavors with tons of tartness and yet reserved on the sugars. Probably will be a great candidate to age for a few months as it softens a bit. As is, the only real detractor is just a slight overabundance of acetic character/sharpness. Oily-to-creamy texture with ample, tight carbonation and no alcohol or flaws noted. Bottled 1/26/22, drunk 4/15/23. Light haze, white head to ring. That is all I want with peach...leathery, juicy, tart... Wow that is a soft, juicy, phenomenally flavorful beer. Leather, skin, juice, light acid. Easygoing, tart, peachy, highly flavorful.
