Bottle from Once Upon a Vine - South on 08/22/2009. Somewhat hazy copper orange body with a medium frothy off-white head. Big peach aroma with some light wheat hints in the background. Sweet peach flavor, though lighter than in the nose, with a bit of a dry wheat background. Medium body with moderately high carbonation.

Pour is a cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma is full of piney resin hops and caramel malts. Flavor is a roasted malt with some of the hops that show up in the aroma. Still something is missing in this beer. It’s not watery by any means its just none of the ingrediants really shine through. Still worthy of a single pick up for a rating.

Peaches and cream aroma. Murky golden, headless. It looks almost gelatinous in the glass. The sweet aroma is contrasted by the reality of the substantially drier flavor of stale malt and perfume. I call shenanigans! This seems nothing more than subpar beer with artificial peach flavoring. Maybe I was expecting something sweet or tart and didn’t get it, but I found this profundly disappointing. I’m not sure I wouldn’t just have a Budweiser.

12oz bottle. Thick, murky orange with a minimal soapy head. Some floaties. Deep peach pie aroma. Pronounced peach juice taste, not that tart..more thick, sweet, and creamy. Really captures the essence of peaches and cream. Light tangy peach-apricot in the aftertaste. Refreshing and quite unique. Some serious peach yogurt nuances.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Brickskeller, 7/31/09
Aroma: Nice malty nose, caramel, honey, chocolate, toasted malts
Appearance: Nice brown color, clear, tan head
Flavor: Like the nose, malty sweetness up front, sweet, roasted characteristics too
Palate: A bit watery/thin, decent mouthfeel
Overall Impression: I'd seen this one in the store a few times, but never bought it. This beer is fair, I would like a bot more body in a brown, but it had a decent taste, and a nice enough nose.

Hazy orange hued, copper tinted body with a nice slightly soapy tan head - this is the perfect look for an APA! Aroma of fresh cascade hops, a bit of metal and some light caramel. Light-bodied; Assertive malt and metal flavours in the taste, but hardly any hops and the bitterness isn’t potent at all. Aftertaste is mild and unassuming - some hops, but mostly dry malt - odd. Overall, a good smelling and looking beer, but it must be all dry hopping, since there is not much flavour to this one! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Total Wine in Chantilly, Virginia on 11-July-2009, sampled at home in Washington on 27-July-2009.

Very cloudy copper coloured body with an orange glow and a thinnish (one centimetre) tan head. Aroma of strong hops, alcohol, caramel, toffee, pit fruits and a bit of peat - smells like a barley wine with a bit of an Imperial IPA scent to it. Light-bodied, if that’s possible! Mild malty flavour with not much behind the initial taste showing some alcohol, a bit of pit fruits and not much else really - insane for such a strong smelling beer! Aftertaste shows a little bit of hops and a tiny bit of pit fruits and almost nothing else! Overall, a pretty interesting beer - I was expecting much more from the taste, but this one is very weak in the flavour - the look and smell are nice, but there is nothing at all to this beer! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased at Total Wine in Chantilly, Virginia on 11-July-2009, sampled on 15-July-2009 at home in Washington.

Single bottle was $1.65 at Wine Warehouse, Charlottesville. Cloudy golden-amber with a small head. PEACH! in the aroma. Flavors of peach (obviously), vanilla, grass, and has a bit of bitterness. Nice.

$1.80 for a single bottle at Wine Warehouse, Charlottesville. Amer with a small head. Sweet malts and breadiness in the nose. Bland blend of hops and malts and finishes sweet. Hides the alcohol pretty well.
