Pale gold with no head.
The aroma is toasty toasty toasty, but also airy with a peach-apple sharpness on the tail end.
Feel is more watery than I'd prefer, with flavors of apple and pear that are less sour than the smell indicates, as a vibe of peach farm slowly creeps in as it warms, all via a thin dry body.

I think that after two years, this beer has settled into a flavor that is as good as a Crooked Stave beer is going to get.
The nose is barnyard funk with peaches, the taste essentially a well carbonated sour peach soda with a strange acidic aftertaste.
Overall, a pretty good beer but certainly not worthy of reserve society status. It may not have even been worth the 4-pack of Heady Topper I traded to acquire it.

375ml bottle. Cellar Reserve 2013, Blend #1. Served in a stemmed glass.
Pours a hazy yellow-orange body as you'd imagine peach juice. Two finger white head with fair retention time, eventually dropping into a placid liquid without much film or collar. Smells of sweeter peach behind a somewhat sharp layer of lemon zest, oak, mild biscuity grain. It smells fairly stonefruit-forward, primarily peaches, but as it warms up, it loses a bit of that initial intensity. Zero diactyl. Flavour is similarly stonefruit-forward; in fact it reminds me a fair bit of the recently released WWB Batch #50 (which was released about two years after this beer). Oak, soft lemon (in comparison to the nose) tartness, a mild-moderate acidity, a small bit of mustiness that lingers on the finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, lower in carbonation. Very easy to drink with fair amounts of complexity, but it isn't overwhelmingly acidic by any means. Zero diacetyl at this point. Overall, a tasty peach sour with mild-moderate acidity, fair bit of lemon behind a solid stonefruit flavour and aroma. It's well-rounded; not too intense in any one way with a fair bit of complexity altogether.

Thanks to mrbubber for sharing this one at his tasting.
2013 vintage.
Pours a hazy golden-orange with a foamy bone head that settles to wisps of film on top of the beer. No lacing on the drink down. Smell is sour with grain, peach, peach juice, peach puree, and acidic aromas. Taste is much the same with sour peach, peach juice, and peach puree flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of acidity on the palate with each sip. This beer has a good level of carbonation with a crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a very good beer with fantastic different types of peach characteristics all around.
Serving type: bottle.
