Bottle. Very light Amber in color with almost no head. Aroma is a light citrus peach. Taste is artificial fruit.

16 oz draft. Flavor has lots of mild Orange and orange peel. White and body with a normal carbonation level. It’s a pretty decent summer brew that could be drank year-round.

Bottle from a Grocery Outlet. Pours clear copper amber with a transient white head. Aroma hints of peach cobbler. Med body. Flavor suggest peach cobber (tho without any sugar whatsoever), has some wheaty/crackery support for enough halt to make this bitter. It does have some citrus in the finish. It could be pool beer.

Sample at the Shipyard brewery taproom. Clear golden color with a thin white head that burns away quickly to a film. Spotty lace. Wheat, citrus and malt aroma. Light-bodied with flavors of grapefruit, wheat and malt. The finish is wheaty with a fruity character. Slightly above average overall.

Bottle. Pours clear golden with off-white foamy large head, peach & grapefruit aroma, high carbonation, lightly sour taste with peach and grapefruit aroma, thin body, abrupt finish. The dominant peach flavor is a bit strange. --- Beer merged from original tick of Kennebunkport Sunfish Wheat on 05 Sep 2017 at 19:37 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 5 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 5. Original review text: Draught @ the source. Clear pale yellow with no head, bubblegum aroma, low carbonation, sweetish taste with a bit of toffee and bubblegum flavor, thin body, abrupt finish. Too much bubblegum, feels quite artificial.

Draft at the Copper Door. Brilliantly clear deep golden with a tiny white head. Huge peach on the aroma with some faint bready wheat maltiness. Feels a bit thin in the mouth could use a hint more sweetness, but it didn’t suck.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, best before 2/14/2016. Pours lightly hazy golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger foamy white head with decent retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Good appearance. Aromas of peach, grapefruit, lemon, mango, pineapple, pear, honey, wheat, cracker, lighty toasted bread, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Nice aromas with good balance of fruit, pale malt, and light earthy hop/fruity yeast notes; with good strength. Taste of big peach, grapefruit, lemon, mango, pineapple, pear, honey, wheat, cracker, lighty toasted bread, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Light herbal/grassy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of peach, grapefruit, lemon, mango, pineapple, pear, honey, wheat, lighty toasted bread, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a short bit. Very nice robustness and balance of fruit, pale malt, and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; with a good malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light-moderate dryness as well. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderate crisp, and lightly creamy/grainy/bready mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with zero warming present after the finish as expected of 4.6%. Overall this is a very good fruited wheat beer. All around good robustness and balance of fruit, pale malt, and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; and very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink. A very enjoyable offering.
