Bottle provided by Shiner for review. Yes, there’s plenty of peach aroma just from popping the crown and pouring. The beer is a hazy wheat straw with just a tinge of orange, and a merely temporary head, usual for beer with an additive like fruit. There is a peach flavor from the first taste, and it is distinct enough to make me think of small, slightly tart peaches, from the beginning of the season. Now, the label is up front to say this is Ale brewed with peaches and with natural flavor added, but we beer fans would want more details. Was the peach juice in the wort after the pool? Was it fermented on peaches? This has a bit of yeast taste to it that suggests this might have sat on peaches at some point. I can say it does NOT taste like canned peaches in syrup, but like biting into a peach, It’s light enough, at 4.5% abs, to be had before or during a dinner from the outdoor grill.

Kroger bottle. Pours golden with a white head. As soon as I open the beer I can smell strawberry. Up close it’s quite artificial strawberry along with a putrid rotting vegetation smell. Flavor is grass water, strawberry, grain, bread. Unpleasant.
