On tap at The Church, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a medium white head. Aroma brings out straw, clean grassy hops, and some hay. Flavour is clean, with straw, hay, and grassy. Dry, gentle on the farmhouse notes, low on the hops. Pleasant.

On tap at The Church, pours a clear bright blonde with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with bright, fragrant peaches, gentle tartness and some oak. Flavour is bright and tart, with intense peaches, moderate tartness, and light oak. Quite acidic but the peaches are very nicely expressed. Not the most complex beer but the peaches make this shine. Very good.

Poured from a 750 ml bottle. Aroma is fairly peach forward with lighter notes of tea and hints of lemon. Light grain notes and hints of alcohol. Pours a slightly hazy, pale, yellow gold with a medium sized, medium thick, fluffy, white head that recedes quickly to a small film that lingers on the edges. Light lacing and small legs. Flavor is rather acidic and sharp with light grain notes. Light bitterness and light alcohol notes. Moderately strong under ripe peach notes with lighter lemon notes and hints of tea. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with medium high carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, an alright beer with nice peach notes, especially in the aroma. For me this beer is too sharply acidic. Tea is light, but it's nice and compliments the peach notes.

Tiny bit cloudy pale yellow, frothy white head. Smells somewhat floral, lightly sweet. Easy body, pillowy. Crisp, nicely dry finish. Taste has a good bitterness that lingers well, hoppyness is there but very restrained, could have gone further. Bit dank.

750ml @ Ryan's shared with Farees. Appearance: brown with a beige head. Aroma: tons of different spices, sweet, dark fruits. Taste: along the same lines, honey, molasses. Overall: too much spices in here, not a nicely balanced IMO.

Poured from 750mL bottle. Dark amber brown with minimal beige head. Raisin, mild molasses, light spices (some cinnamon and nutmeg). Soft, sweet, enjoyable.

Bottle pour, #4403, gifted and split with Tommy. Cheers, and congrats! Excellent beer worth celebrating with. Bright orange appearance. Tart, ripe stone fruit and funky nose. Somewhat intense sour orange fruit, and a subtle dry oak. Big sour stone fruit finish. Sourness 9/10. Long full complex palate. Love this.

Nice straw colour, fluffy white head, bit cloudy. Smells classic pilsner, lightly grassy. Soft body, light and easy. Great taste, crisp light bitterness, pretty dry. Lovely subtle hoppyness. Surprising amount of flavour while remaining clearly a pilsner.
