Serving Type - 4oz taster pour at a New Belguim "Ranger Station" Brew pub, review from notes and memory
A - a slightly hazy orange color, very slight tinge of color in the head
S - citrus, peach, and lemon are the main notes in the smell, although it does have a mild, yet still distinct, yeast character too it
T - very similar to the smell, citrus, peach, and lemon, along with some yeast. The yeast character especially comes out in the finish.
M - a bit of a bit from the citrus, but not much else to it.
O - decent beer, other will enjoy this more if you like fruit beers. I do not.

On tap at the Oak Cafe. Pours a cloudy golden-orange color, kind of pale, no real head to speak of other than a thin white film that hugs the edge of the glass; minimal lacing. Aroma was, of course, heavy with peaches, but it was balanced out cleanly with a heavy dose of yeast. Some booze comes through on the nose as well, but not harshly so. Taste was kind of weird for me - at first, I wasn't a big fan of it. Peach hits a little too abrasively and is almost a little too sweet, kind of distracting to the rest of the beer. As it warmed up a bit, it got much better. Some alcohol came out and really helped to balance the peach. Also tasted some apricot and pear. Very slight clove and bubblegum were detectable, mostly likely due to the Belgian strain of yeast used. The mouth is left with fading notes of sweetness and yeast. Thin-medium in body, medium-heavy carbonation.
This one is still weird for me. The latter half of it was pretty good, but I didn't really like it at first. I'd like to have it one more time and see if I feel the same way. Certainly not awful, but I wouldn't call it great.

Served on tap. Haven't been fully impressed with New Belgian Brewing Company. I would consider this one of their better beers. But there are a lot more beers out there I would rather drink.
A: clear amber orange with a short white head.
S: yeast & funk, floral, stone fruits, syrup, and citrus.
T: alcohol, lemon, peaches, and dark sugars with a dry finish.
M: full body, crisp, clean.

Served from tap into a shaker. Poured yellow-orange with a one finger off-white head that subsided to a half finger slowly. Maintained phenomenal lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, peach, fruit, tart, and subtle funk. The flavor was of sweet malt, sour, peach, fruit, peach juice, earth, metallic, wheat, and grain. It had a light feel on the palate with high carbonation. Overall this was a fairly decent brew. Nothing on this one really stood out to me with the exception of the peach juice flavor. This was not a good thing by the way. It was rather overwhelming on the peach on this one if I am honest. It wasn’t like eating a peach, but rather like sucking its insides out through a straw in concentrated fashion. This pretty much killed it for me on the flavor and really hurt its score on the flavor aspect. If you like peaches you should try this, if not, avoid at all costs.

poured from tap into a tulip. Pours a hazy orange color with a nice head.
Very nice and balanced aromas of hops, peaches, pears, florals and citrus tones as well.
really good and smooth feel. Balanced with fuller body to it and flavors of peaches, hops, pears and citrus notes.
This was really enjoyable. The peach was there, but it wasn't overwhelming. I thought it held the alcohol well as well.

On-tap at New Belgium itself, on to the beer:
This beer takes on an orange color, one that's burnt orange, topped with a head that's fine on top and retains decently. The nose has a pleasant sour peach note, coated with a little sugar. With a name like Peach Porcher, I anticipated that I came across a sour, not realizing that I was drinking a saison. Within a few sips, it had more in common with a Belgian blonde than a saison or sour. Sugary Belgian blonde at the base, vague spices, some some of that fruity peach which adds a tartness to the taste. The body is surprisingly big, and rather chewy. It's a solid beer, yet not one I'd like to fork out the MSRP for a bottle.

Hazy, glowing golden peach in color with a creamy off-white head. Nice retention and lined lacing down the glass. Very pretty.
Sweet peaches lead in the aroma, as I was hoping, along with some biscuit and syrup sweetness, and a tough of a dish rag aroma I don't care for, unfortunately.
The flavor is peach-forward, along with just a whisper of funk, bread and biscuit, syrup sweetness, and again a flavor of wet towel/dish rag, especially at colder temperatures. The unfortunate flavors did seem to dissipate after warming.
Medium bodied with moderate carbonation.
Simple, even boring, considering the kitchen sink of ingredients. Tasty enough, but no reason for me to revisit this one.

Interesting. Served at a good temperature with a cream-colored, foamy head that soon settled and a little lace. Color is a clear amber with a variety of bubble trails. Aroma is fruit, yeast, a hint tart. Flavor's like nose, sweet is balanced by a sharp tang and some hop/yeast bitter; peach is a good match here.Good body and carbonation. Finish is like flavor, of average lenght and kind of boozy.

On tap at the Better Weather Fest at Golden Road Brewing in Los Angeles, CA.
Pours a hazy golden-yellow with a foamy beige head that settles to a film on top of the beer. Small dots of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt, yeast, peaches, and some Brett aromas. Taste is much the same with a mild funky finish on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a good beer that is tasty and easy to drink.

On tap, poured into a plastic cup at Tour De Fat in San Francisco.
a.) Had a great orange/amber look to it. Not much head.
s.). Surprisingly, not much aroma on this brew. A faint peach smell present, but not overwhelming.
t.) Very flavorful, to the point that I think you'll either love it or hate it. I'm not usually one for flavored beers, but I thought this was pretty good. The peach taste pretty much mutes out any hops or grain flavor, so it's not something to have 3 of, but for something different, it works.
m.) Because the peach flavor was so strong, it almost made it difficult to focus on anything but that. The overall mouthfeel seemed pretty neutral: not so thick that it was noticeable, but not so thin that it seems washed out and unpleasant.
If flavored beers aren't your thing (they aren't really mine, either) I doubt this beer is going to be the one to convert you. But if you're tired of IPAs and pale ales and want to switch it up, this one definitely works.

Poured from a bomber into a small snifter.
A: Slightly hazy, pale orange-amber color with a peripheral ring of soapy white bubbles. Light lacing remains on the glass.
S: Bright stone fruit, aromatic malt, and restrained brettanomyces are all detectable in balanced proportions. No alcohol is detected.
T: Begins off-dry, with underattenuated biscuit malt, ambiguous mixed fruit, and expanding yeast esters. Grain appears extremely refined, simplistic, for the most part in the middle although a phantom whiff of toastiness comes and goes. Flavors retreat and dry out into the finish where a residual fruit quality channels some recognizable peach. A fine thread of transient moist earth is also detected. No alcohol is detected.
M: Medium viscosity, syrupy on the palate until the finish where late acidity is revealed, with moderate carbonation.
D/O: This beer appears to be an experiment using ingredients gathered from American Southern culture. While the name suggests a fruit beer, the actual product attempts to straddle a few different camps. At a distance its sensory qualities generate appeal, although its taste is unfortunately similar to a generic strong golden ale in the form of so many of Dogfish Head's high gravity beers. Considering what this beer is able to accomplish, it seems to be stronger than necessary. While the name suggests something accessible and refreshing, in actuality it becomes a bit cloying before long.

"An afternoon on the stoop, foot stomps a loop. Southern style poured in 2 glasses, time becomes molasses. Harmony with hominy grits, peel the peaches and throw out the pits, get some action in the bottle with Brettanomyces. G Love in a brew. Peach porch lounger sings just for you. No bottle date, one time release collaboration between New Belgium & G Love. Brewed in the style of a Saison with Molasses, lemon peel and peach juice added.
Poured from a 22 oz. bottle to a New Belgium Globe glass. Served above 54º Fahrenheit.
(Appearance) Pours a frothy foamed golden-white head over a heavily carbonated golden amber body tone with mild haziness and sediment in tow. Retention is about average- it isn't as presentable as it could be but there is a consistent curtain of lacing around the glass which makes for a decent appearance. 3.25
(Smell) Generally clean spiced pale malt blend, slightly wet bread with a faint sweetness, moderate sourness from the Brett and a mild waft of fruit notes. Not a lot of citrus character notable as well as an understated peach character, but I'm glad that the molasses is also well-controlled as not to dominate or mislead the aroma. This brings me back to a small handful of New Belgium's sour projects, but may be notable for it's approachability and simplicity. Potency is medium/high. Nice aroma despite suppressed expectations. 3.5
(Taste) A definite sweetness up front continues through to the finish for a forward molasses character. More notable is a sweet fruit syrup blend, slightly peach-forward character. It's a touch more sweet than is necessary, even the tart character manages to be overshadowed by the sweetness at times and is too underdeveloped to balance out. A lighter body and slightly lower alcohol could make for a much better-balanced beer with a higher drinkability. In terms of a "lounger beer", this one might do you in shortly after one bottle. It's not a distracting beer but it certainly doesn't hold up to New Belgium's more sought-after sours. 3.25
(Mouthfeel) Mild breadiness with a mild slick sweetness, mildly syrupy finish. Slightly dry cracker malt finish with a touch of sour funk. Mild carbonation presence. Medium alcohol presence, medium/heavy body for the style, a touch heavier than anticipated for a Saison. Overall it doesn't fault much in the carbonation but the texture and body is suggestive of an unnecessarily heavier beer, and this beer deserves a much lighter character to properly represent the style it falls under. 3
(Overall) With New Belgium constantly pumping out new side projects under the Lips of Faith series, some of these come awfully close in similarity. Peach Porch Lounger is curious in that it tries for a Saison but comes off too heavy so, focusing too much on the molasses and too little on the peach fruit character and sourness. The balance is not ideal as a result and the drinkability is hindered as a result. As a "lounger" style beer, I hoped for something a bit lighter, crisper and less boozy in flavor. Hopefully the other bottle that I have of this will remedy the issue of imbalance through time in the near future. 3.25

A: Apricot hue with a large head that quickly fades to a steady thin film: lacing is okay
S: Definitely some peach a long with some slight funk: hay, grass, grains, mustiness also, and plenty of lemon and lemon rind with a subtle brown sugary undertone
T: Very dry on the front; not the funk I thought might be here from the aroma: still some though--especially in the finish--wet hay, grass; I like how the peach and lemon are subtle and really play of the brett nicely; some slight alcohol burn on the finish but not too hot--considering it's almost 10%
F: Dry and crisp up front with a lingering stickiness in the finish; somewhat creamy in between
O: A really nice wild from a brewery that has done a lot of nice wilds; like I said earlier I love how the fruit flavors mingle with the brett; this is a really refreshing beer and great for the summer to fall transition

Hazy opaque apricot hue, thin two finger head with practically no retention. Surprisingly forms a ton of lacing that slathers the glass. How unexpected for a fruit beer.
Pale cereal grains, wheat, lemon zest, lots of coriander spice and Brett funk. Thin fresh peach and fruit aroma, can be sensed but very faint. A touch of vinegar and sharp alcohol really releases from the glass.
Pale malt steps out of the way quickly as the palate has to rough it with fruit, spices and alcohol hitting the palate simultaneously. Nuances of peach, lemon zest, sour apples and a slight vinegar finish. Coriander, Brett funk and clove spice notes and really noticable alcohol. Finishes with a metallic tang before it fades and releases a slight fruity sweetness. While the sweetness from the fruit and the molasses has been held well in check the booze is running rampant and harsh in this one. I enjoy puzzles but this is a complex mess to be sure.
Adequate carbonation, fruit tones it down and makes it rather smooth on the palate before the alcohol really shows its teeth.
New Belgium is really falling to about 50/50 on its LoF series,while staying true to its creative roots. This one is a miss. The complexity of this beer is done well enough and the sweetness is really held back which is contrary to my expectations. I think I would have preferred a thick cloying version of this beer to what it is now, thin malt and juice trying to hold back a wave of alcohol.

A: Pours a clear golden apricot in color with some moderate amounts of visible carbonation and some orange highlights. The beer has a finger and a half tall slightly sudsy beige head that reduces to a medium sized patch of very thin film towards the center of the beer and a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Light to moderate amounts of lacing are observed.
S: Light amounts of grainy malts with moderate to strong aromas of peach. There are some slight notes of grassy hops and possibly a touch of brett funkiness..
T: Upfront there is a light amount of pale and grainy malts which underlies a sweet peach (slightly artificial) flavor which is pretty strong. There are light amounts of brett funkiness and just a touch of grassy hops. Minimal amounts of bitterness are present and fade very quickly.
M: Just slightly heavier than medium bodied with moderate to strong amounts of carbonation.
O: Not the best peach beer that I have had but certainly not the worst... I like the slight touch of brett funkiness but I wish the peach was not quite as sweet (and a touch artificial). Fairly easy to drink with the alcohol is fairly well hidden.

A - Pours with a small head of white foam on top of a lightly hazy, dark golden body. The foam settles quickly and leaves light lace.
S - Thick, wheat malt with lots of spice and fruit notes and a big dose of coriander.
T - Sweet, thick, syrupy malt up front with a bit of fruit that is, oddly, more apricot than peach. Lemon and pepper in the middle with more of the palate coating syrupy sweetness. Finishes with some odd spicy notes of coriander and musty, phenolic brett.
M - A thick, syrupy body, moderately low carbonation, and a sweet finish.
D - Way too thick and sweet for my taste, and while there are some interesting things going on here I can't really bring myself to say it works. The brett and fruit combine to make it taste like they just put a huge amount of coriander in it and that doesn't make for a very enjoyable beer. Like many of the Lips of Faith beers, this one is more interesting than good.

Not surprisingly, it pours a peachy color. It's got a slight haze so it's predominantly opaque, though barely. The head is barely mentionable and lacks any sort of retention.
The smell confused me until I saw this was a saison and I read about the Brett. It then made sense. Funky is the only way to describe it. Has a fruity, cinnamony smell. Very pleasant.
Cinnamon and alcohol with only a smatter of peach. You'd guess the citrus aspect, but may not choose peach. Really, too many flavors going on to pick them all out.
There are layers of feel to this beer. Starts off with an acidy citrus feel. Spices start to kick in mid-sip, along with the funky yeast. In the finish, some spicy bitterness along with some ABV heat.
I didn't know what to think of this. I like peach flavor, high ABV and saisons, but didn't know how they'd all work together. As it turns out, I had nothing to worry about. It's a strange-ish beer, but it all works out.

Been waiting for some time now to try out this Musical Molasses! Bought in California, but drank in Korea, chillin' for quite a while in my 'fridge, it just struck me one Sunday afternoon that the time had come!
Poured from a deuce-deuce into an IPA-style glass, with any regards to fuckin' around left behind on the trans-Pacific flight. The beer itself came out a light hue, with minimal head, which in other realms, is unacceptable, but here, fit the bill perfectly. Settled nicely into the the transitory glass, before it was transferred to my mind, body, and soul.
The smell segued into the taste, with odes to flora adequately compensated for, the whole process through. There were hints of olfactory from the brewery in Colorado, touches of taste from the streets of Philadelphia, and of course a combination of the two, from where all things worthwhile converge, in California.
The 9.4% certainly didn't go unnoticed, although it was beautifully masked behind the scents and tastes associated with this fine brew. Likewise, it paired well with the 1995 album, "Coast To Coast Motel", which was in turn, the perfect accompanying soundtrack to this ale.
Overall, as expected, a journey through musical time and taste, showcasing the genius in this wonderful series put out by New Belgium...

22 ounce bottle into signature globe glass, bottled on 7/17/2012. Pours slightly hazy golden amber color with a 1-2 finger fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Some nice spotty foamy lacing on the glass, with a good amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of lemon zest, pear, peach, pepper, clove, light banana, coriander, earth, wheat, bread, floral, grass, slight funkiness, and yeast spiciness. Nice aromas with good balance and complexity; very sweet and malty. Taste of pear, peach, pepper, coriander, lemon peel, herbal, floral, earth, grass, light banana, wheat, clove, and light yeast spiciness. Light earthy spiciness on the finish; with lingering notes of light fruits, pepper, coriander, lemon peel, floral, grass, earth, light banana, wheat, clove, and yeast spiciness on the finish for a good bit. Nice flavor complexity with decent balance; very malty with moderate spiciness; minimal cloying sweetness on the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a lightly slick, syrupy, and fairly crisp mouthfeel that is good. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a slight warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a pretty good imperial saison. Not as spicy as I would have hoped given the style, but there were some nice flavor complexities; and it was quite smooth to sip on. This was a pretty enjoyable offering.

Pours clear and light yellow. Smells like a saison: out of doors like funk, and alcohol like cider-i-ness, and fruit and citrus and lemon. Taste is sour and sweet and grassy and brett-like funk and really has a pleasant, late stone fruit sustain of the fruit. The peach is somewhat artificial at first, but has a pleasant post fruit snack glow...interesting here. Mouthfeel is terrific, and fast and only moderately dry. A good saison and fun to try, but like most of these, I'd rather try than drink a lot.

Pours a little dark for the style, sparkling gold with a nice white head. Smells of alcohol, mildly spicy saison yeast, and just a little hint of peach schnapps that I probably would have overlooked if I hadn't been prompted by the bottle to seek it out.
Tastes like it smells: a run of the mill American saison with a tiny little kiss of alcohol peaches at the back end. It's an interesting experience, after several sips, because you realize that it's simultaneously a nursin' brew and a session brew. The peachy back end in refreshing and makes you want to drink more, and quickly. But the alcohol spice beginning and middle signal the high ABV and tempt us season drinkers towards slower, more contemplative imbibing. The effect is at first a little disconcerting but it actually gets quite pleasant after a while.
Overall, this is a strange, bold beer that's pulled off pretty nicely.
