On tap at Falling Rock. Pours orange with paperthin off white head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is strong white peach, oak, funk. Thin mouth, tart peach, oak, stone fruit, so balanced, crisp, really impressive.

On tap at Urge. Yellowish/orange pour with no real head. Mildly sour stone fruit bouquet. Delicious sour stone fruit notes dominate. Nice malty backbone. Wonderful oak and barrel nuisances. Fantastic mouthfeel with a perfect body.

Draft pour at Toronado. Pours a golden color with a sweet and sour peach aroma. Intense sour fruit flavor with peach and orange. Juicy, with a long lingering sour finish. Amazing beer to say the least. Loved it.

On tap at Harry’s Hofbrua. This is a great beer! Hazy golden with a full white head (perhaps aided by an over gassed keg that needed some settling). Beer had fresh peach and tart aroma. Taste is well balanced tart sourness with supportive yeasty and bread backing. Nice ripe white fruit.

Tap at the Ale Arsenal 2nd Anniversary. Pours hazy brilliant apricot butterscotch, no head, no lacing, but a beautiful color. Aroma is heavy peach, barnyard funk, lemon, some oak. Flavor is fruity and bright, a bit of initial sweetness fading quickly to medium tart, stone fruit, but not necessarily peach specific, skins and pits, lemon, barnyard. Lingering tartness. Medium body, flat. Pretty nice. I wish it had some carbonation, but... Lost Abbey.

Tap at Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours light amber with no head. LIght sour aroma. Flavor is quite tart. It’s even very sour light stone fruit. I shudder at each delicious quaff. Sour doesn’t seem brett. It’s not very earthy. Finishes dang sour and fruity. And really shockingly sour to the end. Woot!

Pours cloudy and orange gold, small white head, dissipates quickly. Aroma is funky and peachy, fairly jammy, good deal of funk. Quite sour, lots of peach sourness, loses some delicacy, could be cleaner but interesting enough I guess. Lots of pucker, a little thick.

Draught at Publick House, 3/20/14
Very hazy peach-copper colored body has some lazy bubbles rising, though no head to speak of.
Tons of lactic and acetic acid in the nose, fairly aggressive but tempered (sweetened) by the peach juice. Some definite funk in there, for sure, but the stronger acetic notes always seem to drown out the more interesting potential lacto/pedio/brett notes (mustiness, cheesiness, sun-baked cow poop, horse sweat). Anyways, there’s still some definite leather and a bit of cheesiness. We’ll give it a 6.5 on the Funk-O-Meter. That being said, I still like the aceto-lactic-peach nose and think it works very well. No alcohol or flaws noted.
Flavor is pretty damned unique...peach sugars and heavy acetic and lactic sourness battle it out and the mouth goes through a rollercoaster ride of tartness, sweetness and heavy sourness on the end. Fortunately, the sourness does win out in the end, and the beer never comes off as too sweet. Still a touch of syrupiness to be found and the flavors are very aggressive. Certainly not a contemplative gueuze, but then, I’m sure it’s not intended as such. The acids are lip-smackingly delcious and I love the abv. Probably going to be unbelievable a year from now, once the peach subsides a little and the acetic levels drop. Assuming there’s any left...
