Consumed at the 2012 Autumn Brew Review, from notes.

"Brewed with over 1000 lbs of fresh peaches.."

Pale yellow orange with a short lived white foam head. Smells mildly of fresh peaches, grain, lightly sweet. Smells pretty decent. Taste is akin to a light adjunct lager, with faint peach notes. Where are all the peaches? Taste was disappointingly lacking in the advertised peach department. Mouthfeel was light and crisp, highly carbonated.

Fairly disappointing on the promise of being brewed with 1,000 lbs of fresh Hale and Haven peaches. Seemed more like an lightlynsweet adjunct lager with a trace of peach flavor. No tartness or complexity.

Serving type: on-tap

Pours lightish yellow with some white bubbly head. Aroma and flavor were both similar, both quite lackluster. Tasted and smelled very little peaches in this, just a touch to offer a little sugary sweetness to go with a bland pilsner like malt base. A thinner body with some activity. Overall, no one is perfect and everyone is allowed the occasional miss. This is definitely a miss by Odell.
