look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4

July 2012, bottle dated 2012. Should be fresh.

A: Pours a nice hazy golden straw color with a decent head. Light retention and lacing.

S: Very light smell. Malt and some tart peachy notes. Nothing too impressive here, but that may to be expected given the overall lightness of the beer.

T: Follows the nose. A very nice tartness both in front and on the back end. A bit of peachy sweetness offsets the tartness nicely. Less peachy than I expected, which is welcomed, as I was expecting too much sweetness or a 'fake' peach taste. As another review mentioned, a little bit of "white grape juice" flavor. Kind of reminds me of a much better version of the sparkling white grape juice I used to get on NYE as a young child. Very nice tasting beer. Very little aftertaste, but a sweet-tart mix that makes you want to take another drink. Hard to believe there is ANY alcohol to this.

M: Light and highly carbonated, but with just enough body to let you know you're not drinking an american light beer. I enjoy this, especially as a summer beer - perfect for me.

O: A very good beer, and one I'll most definitely seek out again. Given low ABV, light tart taste and nice mouth feel, I could easily see buying a 4 pack of these for a long hot summer afternoon session. My first DFH experience, and a very good one.
