Caramel brown with a medium sized head. Peach, vinegar and earthiness. Long finish. Medium body.

On draught at Kennett, 10/8/2005. Hazy, dark peach to dark-amber colored beer, with an off-white head that quickly recedes to ring. Bubbles rising fairly vigorously, they must have thrown some primer and yeast in there before this keg was tapped. Aroma has raw, authentic peach notes, nicely noticeable brett and some band-aid like phenols (guess I was the only one who thought I smelled those). Dry, lightly woody, but playfully so, with some light earthy-funk to it. Flavor is tart, peachy-sweet with some sugary caramel-like notes and lightly tart brett on end. Flavor keeps on the palate for a while and overall is pleasing, if a little bit too simple in its funk delivery. Sweet, but not offensively so. For an American brewer, it’s a valiant effort. Mouthfeel has too bountiful a carbonation. Very bubbly and aggressive on the palate. Probably from the fresh injection of primer. Not sure if I would have preferred it still (which is what I imagine it became sitting in the barrels), but still needs a good deal less carbonation. I also prefer lambics to be completely attenuated, but it’s ok the way it is, perhaps it wouldnt have tasted right without some residual sugars.

growler- pours a white head with cloudy orange brown color. Aroma is fruity, alcohol. Taste is fruity, alcohol, malt. Good occasional beer.
