On tap at the PIB. Pours a cloudy yellow color with a medium white head. A big woody sour peach nose. The flavor is dry husky earthy malt, sharp sour and sweet peaces. Quite smooth. Solid.
On tap at PIB 2016, pours a hazy golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out light tartness and a little stone fruitiness. Flavour brings out loads of peaches, though they’re fairly muted. Zesty, fuzzy peach skins on the finish. Okay.
On tap. Amber orange with white head. Peach aroma, Sweet fruity flavour. sour notes
Aroma - juicy soft summer peach.
Appearance - the body is peach in color. With an aggressive pour, the head sets up at about 2" and white.
Taste - juicy mellow peach, has a bit of light sugar. The whole experience is more than just peach. It is reminiscent of time and place for certain peach eating experiences. It’s not merely canned peach, or typical peach from the store, it’s like a fine summer peach, you can almost taste the fine hairs, the sunglow of the summer. Really surprising how that can be captured.
Palate - light body, juicy texture, soft carbonation, and dry fruity finish.

Birra color ambrato leggero. Al naso profumo di pesca e fiori. In bocca una leggera acidità, freschezza. Un po’ carente di corpo ma pienamente godibile e beverina.

Cloudy orange brown like oxidized peaches. Nose is peach flesh. Medium heavy body with off dry taste, very lightly tarr, and flavors of fleshy canned peaches, some light limestone, and light malts. Really incredible peachiness here. Needs just some tartness to balance this out and take it to the next level. Great with homemade pasta with smoked chicken and lemon caper white wine cream sauce.
Bevuta alla spina alle birre della merla 2016. Beverina e molto fruttata con estremo sapore di pesche. Un valore affettivo notevole. Finale atropifreco.
Miele, zucchero, lievito, ma sopratutto tante pesche. Fruttata, leggermente vinosa con una lievissima acidità. Perfetta anche invecchiata. Una meraviglia.
Birra fresca e dolce, profumatissima di pesche, con sentori di lievito, malto, miele e zucchero a velo. Gusto dolce e rotondo senza essere stucchevole, incredibilmente beverina. Promossa!
Mi sarei aspettato molto di più da questa birra, dove le note di pesca appaiono rarefatte e velate. Però molto gradevole.
"didn’t know what to expect here...pours a hazy light yellow...aroma funky peaches. sweet and sour, subtle and enticing. light fizzy texture, even at 7% fits the beer. just a hint of tartness and barnyard with fresh peach flavor. very refreshing and a beer i’ll be sure to revisit in the summer. best peach beer i’ve had."
I remember when we got a case of 6 of these back in the day at Bottleworks...we were pretty excited. The flavors remembered are peachy with fruit must, lighter overall. Petite, but flavorful enough to want more. Haven’t seen it since maybe 2007?
Les arômes de pêche au nez sont très présent. Une couleur dorée trouble. Un goût légèrement acide et des arômes de pêche très discrets. Une bouche crémeuse.
Bottle thanks to Matt. Pours a cloudy orange with small frothy white head. The aroma is strong peach and funk. Light fruit and peach with light dryness. Easy to drink, very good.
Bottiglia 75 cl comprata al birrificio e bevuta a casa.
Chiara torbida con schiuma fine e persistente.
Predomina la pesca, finale amaro

Bottle shared thanks to Dennoman. Pours cloudy yellow gold with a bubbly white head. Aroma is infected, plasters
Dreadful. Drain pour
phenomenal beer. plenty of dry, subtle peach aromas and flavors. nice lactic sourness without the acetic vinegar notes so many sour beers fall victim to. supremely drinkable, with very good amounts of oaky vanilla in the finish. beautiful.
Bottle @ Triple Rock Sour Sunday, Triple Rock, Berkeley, CA. Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a small white head. Has a fruity malty spicy peach aroma with weak yeasty hints. Fruit spicy peachy flavor. Has a fruity malty peachy finish.
Bottle. Pours a cloudy deep gold with an orange hue and a white head that lasts throughout the beer. Aroma has a nice light tart apricot with some sweet grains and a bit of hay. Flavor has a good amount of light tart apricot with light grains and a hint of earthy hay.
Pesca evidente, ma all’inizio la confondevo con formaggio, sembrava toma col miele. Frizzante come una weizen, zero amaro. Sa di pesca sciroppata
Pour is cloudy dark amber with an off white tight head. Very fruity in the nose, orange peel and peach skin, slightly green and a touch dusty. Huge peach, really tastes like the first bite of a fresh fuzzy peach. Very singular with an earthy peach pit note in back. Medium body, soft palate, great carbonation. This is refreshing and easy to drink.
Pours a pale yellow with some head. nose is juicy fruits, mild peaches, and bready notes, first sip is similar.finish is clean with pale malt and peaches. nice
Pours clear peachy golden with an orange hue and decent white head. The aroma brings soft lightly sweetened peaches very soft in the nose, but most enjoyed. The flavor brings light peach notes on a lighter body with the peach settling again softly with a bit of spiciness, just a tad. It is not too carbonated as I thought it might be.
Sample from a 750ml bottle, thanks to Jay for sharing this. Totally cloudy peach color (I think I got the end part of the bottle). Good thin white head, that fades eventually. Great peach nose-smell. Satisfying peach aroma, with a seafood note. Smooth texture, lightly pulpy, very light carbonation. More dry finish. Nice mild peachy aftertaste. Much less sweet than expected. Little tart, mild bitter. An above average fruit-beer, for sure.
Cloudy peach colored pour with a foamy white head. Aroma hits with some peach and apricot notes, some yeast and a light bit of dusty funk. Flavor has the peaches, its yeasty, quite dry on the finish. The peach flavor seems to get lost a little in the yeast. Not bad at all, but could have been so much better.
Pours an light orange copper color with a fizzy two finger head that laces slightly and form a nice ring around the glass.... Aromas are stonefruit, apricot and a touch of sweet malts and subtle hints of funky yeast. On the palate this fruit beer is a great balance between fruit flavors and beer flavors. Ripe peach and big apricot flavors intertwined with slight bitter hops and earthy malt flavors all brightened up with light touches of sour tart glimpses and a tiny bit of funk. Very good.
Multiple bottles from Pizza Port bottleshop. Pours a hazy glowing golden orange color, medium creamy white head, great sheets of lacing. Aromas of squeazed peach, lemons, wood, peach/apricot candy. Taste is a wonderfully refreshing earthy peach flavor with other small notes of yeasty tartness. Very well done. "Ill take the peacha fizzy"
2008 vintage bottle shared by friends in Rome. Cloudy yellow pour with a faint white head. Effervescent peach aromas. Light in body, very effervescent, with nice peach notes. It was a little bit watery and past it’s prime, but you could still see the potential.
Pours golden orange with a huge white head. Nose is vinegar, peach, apricot, lemons and grass. Flavor is sweet with a mild bitter tinge. Mouthfeel is crisp and clean. Long aftertaste.
