Clear and ever so slightly hazy blonde, orange and peach coloured body with a very small, single centimetre tall pure white head. Aroma of peaches (what else?), fructose, light caster sugar, a dash of citrus and lemons along with a nice malt undertone and some bready/yeastie components near the end, quite simple and pleasant. Light to Medium-bodied; A touch of bitter and biscuity malts dominate the front with a lot of yeastie and grainy elements right behind, but so is the fruits with some apricots, peaches and apple flavours along with a touch of floral and dry sweetness from the fructose with a bit of alcohol noticeable on the end, due to the dryness. Aftertaste shows some fresh peach flavours with a dash of sweetness, but the dry, biscuity and especially malt-forward flavours dominate with the floral notes outweighing the sweetness and the light astringency and alcohol somehow showing more than the light peach notes. Overall, a decent enough beer perhaps without enough fruits to make this enjoyable - this almost showed as a blonde ale or a belgian single with some added peaches, but on the lighter side of the fruit and the heavier side of the malts and especially the yeast. Nice to sample, but not one of my favourites for the style or in general. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Total Wine in Manassas, Virginia on 28-April-2020 for US$2,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 20-August-2020.
