6.2/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Sampled at All Pints North 2017. Session pale ale. nearly clear copper color. some peach in the aroma. Very light palate, the flavor is not particularly recognizable as peach, and overall the beer is far too light. An easy sipping beer for summer that needs more flavor. More peach flavor with a large sip.

Bottle at RBSG. Dark brown pour with a small creamy tan head. Really nice aroma of mocha and vanilla, roasted malts and barrel. Lots of espresso and roasted malts in the taste with a moderate amount of sweetness from the barrel. The mouthfeel is a little light, but overall the flavors are there? a bit thicker of a body and this would be a 4.5+ rating for me.
