Bottle from Sainsbury's Supermarket, Salford. Clear golden with a frothy-bubbly head. Has more than a subtle hint of peach as it suggests on the bottle, this is part of a fairly floral and exotic fruit mix, stated in both aroma and taste.

Huge thanks to quack-duck for that one! Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass with a nice head. Fresh sweetish hoppy aroma. Starts mild but not washy, fine fresh hoppy notes, fruity hints of lemon, some peaches. Shy bitterness. Finish well balanced. Easy to drink. Nice!

[50cl bottle from my local Sainsbury's] A bright pale amber pour with a pillowy cream head and gentle carbonation; peachy aroma; soft peachy taste with a velvety mouthfeel; and a peachy finish with a touch of citrus peel adding bitterness. Interesting to compare this to Aldi's weaker peach beer from the same brewery - this one is smoother with a subtler flavour and less bitterness. All in all, a super summer beer.
