Got in a trade with AZBeerDude72. 16 ounce can into pint glass, best before 9/27/2019. Pours lightly hazy pale golden yellow color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a light amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big juicy, lightly tart/tangy peaches, fruit skin/pits, apricot, pear, melon, red apple, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, wood, peppercorn, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of peaches, fruity yeast, earthy hops, and pale/wheat malt notes; with big strength. Taste of big juicy, lightly tart/tangy peaches, fruit skin/pits, apricot, pear, melon, red apple, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, wood, peppercorn, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness; and fruit tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/tangy peaches, fruit skin/pits, apricot, pear, melon, red apple, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, wood, peppercorn, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of peaches, fruity yeast, earthy hops, and pale/wheat malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness and tart/tangy fruit balance; with no puckering/astringent flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitter/tart/tangy and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy/sticky/acidic/tangy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.5%. Overall this is an excellent fruited American pale wheat ale. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of peaches, fruity yeast, earthy hops, and pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the modestly bitter/tart/tangy/drying finish. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Awesome balance of juicy/vibrant peaches, clean pale/wheat malts, earthy hops, and fruity yeast. Zero residual sweetness with crisp dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and impressive style example. Not overwhelming on any aspect. Great summer beer.

On tap. Pours a clear straw yellow with a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has lots of candied peach with sweet grains and a hint of cookie underlying. Flavor has grains and bread with a growing sweet peach note.

16 oz. can bought at Stage Door off the strip in Las Vegas. Pours a mostly clear light yellow color with a fizzy white head and fair retention. Peach aroma. Tiny spots of lacing. Nice peach ale flavor without being overly sweet. The mouthfeel is a little cider-like. Lightly crisp. Refreshing.

Bottle thanks to Jacob and Peter. Yellowish with a fleeting white head. Mild peach aroma. Taste is mildly bitter up front with a lingering, sweet, peachy finish. Body is light, texture lightly watery, moderate carbonation. Drinkable enough but once you get beyond the pleasant peach notes there’s not much there.

Reviewed from notes.
Thanks Brian.
Poured into a becher pint glass, the appearance was a yellow color with a slight transparency about it. Some carbonation could be seen rising into the fastly dissipating head. No lace.
The aroma had some peach up front with a light floral to grassy hoppiness fairly down low.
The flavor had the peach all of the way through with the same sort of aftertaste and finish.
The feel was light bodied with a good sessionability about it. Carbonation felt a bit more than I expected it. ABV was in range as projected by the brewer.
Overall, I had low expectations which in turn this beer met and then turned out to be a decent quaffer. Maybe not a \"whale,\" but pretty sure Four Peaks did what they wanted to with this beer.

On tap at Four Peaks in Tempe, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma smells like peach Snapple, with the artificial peachy sweetness and everything. Flavour tastes like peach Snapple too - in fact, any further word would be superfluous. If you like peach Snapple and want to get buzzed off it, this is your drink.
