Bottle courtesy of forgetfu. Served in a mini snifter. Pours a hazy light golden-straw color with a short white head and a light bit of lacing. The nose carries a touch of peach and a bit of acidity. Not much depth, and not quite as nice as the Apricot. Flavor has a very mild malt presence plus some peach and a bit of accompanying pit. Light body and a touch of acidity. Okay and without flaws, but not nearly as good as the Apricot.

Hazy, yellow/gold. Not a lot of carbonation. Especially as you work your way down, it pretty much goes dead flat.
The nose is a nice sour mix of slightly funky brett yeast, sourness (tart green apple, citrus), and a little bit of peachy flavor.
Slightly sour on the front of the palate, fruity in the middle, with a pronounced brett character in the finish. Not harsh, just apparent.
The peach doesn't really come out much until it totally warms up, but even then, it's mild. Still, it's tasty even with only a mild note.
For a warm day, this is a nice tart quencher...however at the current price and availability, you really could never treat it as such.
Not as good as the fromboise, but still tasty. I think I prefer it to the apricot, even if it is less fruity and carbonated.
The guys at AC Golden know both their German lagers and wild ales rather well. Not too much coming out of there that I don't like.

A: Poured from a bomber into a couple of tulip glasses. Hazy yellow with a tinge of orange. A very thin head that disappears quickly, leaving only a ring around the edge. I'm refreshed already.

S: Strong smell of unripe peaches. Sour and dry. Oak and chardonnay characteristics, too. Very nice smell.

T: Tart and peachy, but not overwhelming at all. Wow, this is very good.

M: Smooth, with medium carbonation that lends itself well to this style.

O: Very impressed with this sour. I would drink this stuff all the time if it were readily available. A much better beer than the Apricot.

Appearance: - straw yellow haze with a small white head

Smell: muted peach with touches of oak and lactic acid

Taste: the peach was a bit muted, with some oak and acetic sourness. Could use a bit of funk

Mouthfeel: medium-light body, good carbonation

Overall - good offering, I found the apricot one vastly superior.

Bottle shared by forgetfu. Thanks. Beer served in a snifter. Beer is yellowish and hazy with a lazy white head, wispy, minimal lacing, moderate carbonation, low retention.

Aroma is fruity, sweet, with a nice lactic, succinic, and mildly harsher aroma, smells good.

Much better than the kriek to me, smoother, better fruit content, and more flavor forward. A nice beer and I'd have more of this for sure.

Batch 1
Brewed 5/29/2010
Bottled 8/16/2011

Shared by forgetfu. Thanks Bill.

The beer is hazy and straw yellow colored with 1/4" white head. The aroma brings peaches, with additional notes of oak, lactic, acetic character. Nice flavor. Tart with prominent peaches. Lingering tartness and sourness. Pretty light in body with moderate carbonation. A solid beer.
