Bottle from Wegmans. Slightly hazy gold with a small white head. Amazingly artificial peach (I don't care, it smells great), wheat aroma. Flavor is peach, both artificial and natural, apricot skins, wheat. Tasty, but I like peach and peach flavoring, so I'm biased.

Sample at Daily Growler Powell. Dark mahogany-brown color with a medium thin beige head that recedes quickly to an outer ring. Sparse strings of lace. Malty and nutty aroma. Light to medium body with flavors of caramel malt, pecan and a bit of coffee. The finish is roasty and sweet with a candied pecan aftertaste. Decent overall.

12 ounce can from Woodman's Appleton, 5/7/2021. Rating as many different states in a row as I can without repeats. Starting on 5/4: IL, CT, NY, VA, TN, IA, MN, AZ, OH, FL, NM, MI, and now TX. Clear amber, large frothy white head, fair retention. Aroma of candied lemon, pale malt. Taste is pale malt, stone fruit, tart lemon. Thin. Very entry level but okay for what it is.

Bottle. A- Sweet, pecans, roasty, brown sugar. A- Brown color, clear liquid, off white head. T- Pecans, brown sugar, slightly roasty, mild cinnamon. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, roasty finish. O- I mean this works. The enjoyment kind of wears off after the first few sips but certainly not a bad beer. A bit sweet as expected. Lots of pecan and brown sugar. I'd say this is a bit on the novelty side but drinkable for sure.

Pours a clear reddish-black with a thick creme-colored head. Aroma of toffee, pecans, caramel. Taste has sickly sweet toffee, Caramelized malt. Palate is much of the same, unremarkable. Really not good.
