R.J. Rockers Son of a Peach Wheat Ale
An unfiltered American wheat ale made with real mean peaches. The only thing missing is the fuzz. Savor the anger.

Peach-centric with an unexpected vanilla sweetness on top of a fairly nondescript wheat ale. Yeasty with the slightest bit of tart fruit, and the finish turns into fizzy bland nothingness. Not terrible, but not memorable either. We’ll settle for skippable.
Candy peach aroma. Overly sweet peach taste. Too artificial and not nearly enough wheat to balance.
12oz bottle. Pours a cloudy orange color with a thick white head. Aromas of strong peach and light wheat. Flavors of peach, some orange, vanilla, and wheat. Moderate carbonation with a dry moderately bitter finish.
Cloudy orange with a beautiful thick fluffy white head that lasted forever and left very nice thick lace. Big peach aromas with plenty of wheat and a little toast. Fuzzy peach flavors generate sweetness with a touch of tart and earthy hops. Medium body, fuzzy carbonation, creamy mouthfeel and a finish full of peach.
I love peaches, but it’s not available near me. 77541, too far to drive to Tx city. I’ll just be happy with the beer club samples. Too bad I. Can’t have it delivered.
Bottle courtesy of Asbjørn, my first SC rating. Pours cloudy golden orange with a lasting off-white head. Aroma of peach and wheat. Medium sweetness, light bitterness and touch of sour. Medium body, slight oily texture, average carbonation.
Nice fresh peach aroma, but other than that it’s a little dull. Not bad, just average across the board.
12 oz bottle at home. Pours a hazy dark golden/light amber color with a small off white head. The aroma and flavor have pale wheat malts, decent peach character, some sweet malt, straw, light bodied, just ok.
The peach flavor is very strong, and right up front. It’s a lot like eating peaches that are contained in a cup of syrup, but there’s a bitterness at the end that kind of reins it in. It’s a surprise, and it helps make the beer more rounded.
Aroma - has a soft candied peach aroma, similar to what you would get from a can of fruit cocktail.
Appearance - the body is clouded maize color, with some fine particulates. The head is large, 2+" with a white head that slowly subsides.
Taste - has a mix of wheat, slight tang, soft peach, some mango like flavor, and slight yeast.
Palate - light body, soft texture, carbonation is lively, and slight tang.
It pours cloudy orange with a white head. It has aromas of peach and wheat. It has flavors of peach, some orange, vanilla, and wheat. It has a moderate feel with a dry moderately bitter finish that has a bit of astringent bite. Overall, it is fruity but the finish throws it off.
Hazy golden color with a moderate, stable, off-white head. Aromas of peaches, alcohol and touch of mold. Peaches and vanilla flavors. Touch of butter in the finish. Some odd vegetable flavors in the middle distract once and a while, much like a peach pit. 11/12
A subdued peach aroma, not much of a head. A clear peachy color. Kind of flat without much to offer in flavor. A hint of peach a bit sweet with a short lasting fruit finish.
Nice aroma and color, but the flavor is syrupy like canned peaches and the aftertaste is pretty bitter. Not real good in the end.
Might’ve been better without the peach. Pours a dark clear orange with a white ring of foam. Flavor has the same characteristics as most farmhouse wheat beers but has an odd bitter out-of-date peach taste. Oh, well still gonna drink every bit.
Clear copper. Tastes like a bitter peach ring candy. Not a fan of the fake tasting fruit flavor.
Cloudy dark bet orange with rimming white head; aroma is peach as it warms is mellows to tropical coconut suntan lotion; Flava is peach spice(coriander) vanilla some bitter graininess; feels light flattish with some zing; finishes dry bitter soft vanilla and tangy notes
Drank on tap at the Vault, in Scranton, PA. Pours a nice orangey color, with zero head. Great aromas of peaches. A good brew!!
Murky, light orange pour. Peachy aroma. Flavor is fresh and of course, peachy. Peach flavor is pretty natural and refreshing. Crisp, clean mouthfeel. Much better than expected.
A great warm weather beer with a peach taste but not too sweet. Just right with the fruit
Pours hazy blonde with small head. Smells distinctly peach sweetness. Mouthfeel is overall light to medium. Tastes obvious peach. Overall just okay ale.
BOD 4/3/15. Pours a cloudy light medium amber with heavy particulate suspension. Virtually no head, lacing or retention. The worst head characteristics I’ve ever seen.
Nice nose of canned peaches over a touch of biscuit. No hop character whatsoever.
Light body with a texture slightly thicker than water. Below normal carbonation with light effervescence in the finish.
The flavor profile is weak in intensity, almost one dimensional but well balanced. It begins with weak canned peaches. The middle is where canned peaches are most intense over a mild bitterness that is accompanied with a balancing biscuit sweetness against a subtle wheat character. The finish is a slow fade of slightly bitter canned peaches.
Distinct peach taste and smooth aftertaste. This wheat beer is fresh and well balanced. Nice peach aroma.
Bottle - Has a weird "fake" peach smell to it, also hints of vanilla. As for the taste it tastes fake, overly sweet if you ask me. I can’t confirm but I don’t think there is a real peach in this wheat beer. All in all it just tastes weird and I like a good peach beer, Festina Peche is one of my favorite beers of all time. Another taste I get is medicine, just awful.
Poured from a 12 OZ bottle into a pint glass.
Aroma- Smells like artificial peaches.
Appearance- The best part of this beer. A nice murky amber colored beer with a small white head.
Taste- Absolutely terrible, it was such a train-wreck of faux peaches and wheat that I couldn’t even drink this. I have finished off some amazingly bad beers in the past.
Palate- hmmm, YUCK
Overall- Terrible beer, I have had several other RJ Rocker beers and they were decent, this one is abysmal.
Bottle. Hazy pale golden beer with a very big off-white head. Peach and apricot aroma, fruity, malty, sweet. Peach flavor, apricot, orange notes. Not much more than the fruits.
Like drinking and smelling a peachy ring. At the base of this beer is a typical wheat, but the peach aroma and flavor is so overwhelming, a bit too much for me.
on tap at The Distillery in Savannah GA - aroma and flavor of Georgia peaches. Good summer beer.
Divine aroma of peach which makes me think of my childhood. The taste was worse. Very watery with lighter peach taste. Okay bitterness in the aftertaste that fills the upper and front part of the mouth briefly. Had high expectations after the smell of the beer but it disappeared quickly.

Pours a cloudy golden orange from the bottle with thin wispy white head that leaves moderate lace. Aroma and taste of a fresh peach over wheat malt base, not much else. Sweet but not too bad, nothing I would probably get again though.
