Very hazy deep peach coloured body with a stupid large, ten to fifteen centimetre tall off-white head that's very soapy and even starts coming out of the top of the bottle. Aroma of grass, peaches, pears, plums and a dash of berries, but a bunch of rather strong malts and some noticeable sugars throughout here with some light alcohol noticeable and a touch of tea notes. Medium-bodied; Rather strong malt notes with a lot of fruits, especially those peach and pear notes with the plum finishes and a good deal of residual sugars, especially at the end with a pungent dryness and bitterness from the fruits. Aftertaste shows a ton of fruits with a dry fruity bite, some rather pungent malts and a herbal and grassy finish, but the peaches and light spicey pear notes are strong here as well. Overall, a dry, super peachy, slightly spicey and herbal pungent beer with a lot of malt depth and a ton of fruits here, but the head that comes out of this is a bit too much, even after fifteen minutes or so! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle, purchased from Harris Teeter in Arlington (Columbia Pike), Virginia on 18-September-2021 for US$1,87 sampled in my hotel room here in Hampton, Virginia on 26-November-2021.

Bottle, Wegmans. Hazy orange-brown with floaties and a sewage-water head. Raspberry, apricot, peach... all tart aromas. Flavor is tart raspberry, apricot skin, green leaf, wheat. Bitter, not sour... not a hint of sweetness in this (and I think it needs it). Also has a plasticy aftertaste. The word going through my mind right now is yuck.
