Bottle. Hazy orange color with white head. Aroma is peach, vegetables. Taste is vegetables, yeasty, peach. Silky mouthfeel. Not great.
On tap. Pours a clear gold with a thin, white head that fully dissipates. Sweet aroma of caramel malt, peach, yeast, wood and white wine. Sweet flavour of caramel malt, peach, yeast and wood with a dry, tart, alcohol finish. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation.
Poured into a teku showing well filtered yellow peach color and no head. The nose is similar to a weizen - banana, cloves, with hints of peaches and oak. The palate is moderately carbonated and light bodied. Flavors show strong round malts with a background of peaches. As it warms on the palate, the peach flavors become more overt and intense. A strong alcohol but zesty spiciness throughout and on the linger. Malts appear on the finish. The oak chardonnay flavors appear in background in a very subtle manner.
Bottle. Pale gold body with a frothy, white head, diminishing. Aroma of peach, oak, toasted grain, light mustiness, pineapple. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet, lightly to moderately bitter and lightly to moderately acidic. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Taste of peaches and oak with light peppery alcohol in the finish. Nice balance among sweetness, bitterness and acidity. Enjoyed this one.
8th May 2015: in a flight of six at the excellent Brewhouse, San Juan Capistrano, Orange County, Golden pour with a wispy white head. Mild citrus aroma and taste with a mango like flavour, more so than any peach notes. Different but not really my thing. Glad I tried it though.
Sampled @ Braukunst Live München 2015 Klare goldene Farbe, geringe weiße Schaumkrone. Geruch nach klebrigen Hopfen, Gummi. Geschmack nach sehr reifen Früchten, Gummi, hefig.
Draft - Peaches, raw oak and sweet yeast. Clear gold with a thin white head. Boozy, sweet Belgian yeast with peaches prominent. Boozy and estery as with Belgians, which I am not a huge fan of.
Bottle. Release 1. Pours a cloudy yellow with frothy off white head. The aroma is strong funk and peach. Thin mouthfeel with light tart peach and oak with nice light dry finish. Easy to drink, very good.
Draft sample at Epic Brewing taproom, Denver. Pours clear golden with a small off white head. Aroma of peach, yeast, vinous aspects, wood, dough, vanilla. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter. Full bodied with soft carbonation. Lovely!
22 ounce bottle into tulip glass; Release 9, bottled on 1/6/2012. Pours hazy golden amber color with a 1 finger foamy white head with decent retention, that reduces to a ring of lacing. Light foamy lacing clings on the glass, with moderate streaming carbonation. Aromas of peach, pear, apple, orange, clove, candi sugar, pepper, oak, white wine, floral, bread, and yeast earthiness. Slight phenolic note that goes away as it warms. Nice aromas with good balance and complexity of fruity/spicy esters with peach and wine barrel notes; with good strength. Taste of peach, pear, apple, orange, clove, candi sugar, light pepper, oak, white wine, floral, bread, and yeast earthiness. Lingering notes of peach, light fruits, clove, candi sugar, light pepper, oak, white wine, bread, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice complexity and balance of fruity/spicy yeast esters with peach and barrel flavors; with zero cloying sweetness after the finish. Light-medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a slick and moderately syrupy mouthfeel that is good. Alcoohl is very well hidden with hardly any warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a nice fruit Belgian strong pale ale. Good balance and complexity of fruity/spicy esters with the peach and wine barrel flavors; and quite smooth to sip on. A nicely enjoyable offering.
