Thanks to cavedave for the nice BIF beer. Tasted 25 January 2013, reviewed from notes.

Pours a pale orangey yellow, quite cloudy. It has an odd color, like a tangerine drink or something, with that soft orange tint. Thin layer of white head, thanks to a gentle pour; it quickly sizzles away, leaving little to no lacing.

Smell is tart, wheaty, with a twist of peach. All things that I expected, but they work really well together, dancing off each other, one adding highlights as another shines. Really nice.

Taste is clean and crisply citrusy sour. A pronounced peachy sweetness makes the beer all that much better, turning it into a sour-sweet contrast that I really enjoy.

Mouthfeel is delightful. Light-bodied, with a wheaty fuzziness. Carbonation that surges up, keeping things moving, then fizzles and fades. Quite good, and a perfect complement to the rest of the beer.

A darn good berliner weisse. I really like the peach, as the juicy sweetness makes a really nice complement to the citrus sour. Quite tasty.

Finally reviewing this Justin and Adam delight. Live review. This beer is poetry.

It pours turbidly, the color of peach-tinged straw. A quick view of a two finger white cap all I saw.

That sour funky citrus that Berliner lovers crave, with peach so dreamy luscious it could put me in my grave.

Refreshing, tart the start of flavors bold yet smooth and clean, then peach a sweet reach to it starts the fueling funk machine. Some real hormonal in there never seeming too extreme, it ends just dry enough to make a fruit and sour dream.

Ah, but in the mouth, light and refreshing bright zest, the citrus clean and sour/ sweet in a wheaty finish

makes this a super refreshing beer with just the right amount of Peach. Love this beer, go get some.

Poured from 22oz bomber into a pint glass.

Appearance: very pale golden hue with plenty of haze, yielding a silvery-white appearance. Plenty of floaties in the beer, but that's due to my pour; this beer is bottle-conditioned on lees. Effervescence is huge, and the effect is more of a fizzy soda pop than a beer; head was quite fizzy and dissipated very quickly.

Smell: lightly wheaty with a hint of peach and a mild tartness. A very balanced concoction; I like it.

Taste: light, wheaty malt with a smooth, chalky undertone. Peach works well as an accent and isn't overdone. Sourness is mild but gives enough of a kick to be quite refreshing. I like it.

Mouthfeel: light body but a massive effervescence and a big, if ephemeral, creaminess. I think it is quite good for the style.

Overall: a very refreshing and very drinkable beer. I could quaff gallons of this stuff.

"This beer is Sloop Brewing’s artistic ale. The Sauer Peach’s complex flavors come from a natural sour culture. This tart flavor is woven with sweet peach nectar to provide your palate with a contrastingly balanced beer. It is light in body, and stands at 4.3 by volume. One theory holds that the Berliner Weisse style ale originated from the Huguenots passing through the Flanders region of Belgium on their way to Germany. Later, the Huguenots established a community in New Paltz, NY, which is just across the Hudson River from Sloop Brewery. This is our interpretation of their beer. "

From 10/13/12 notes. Thanks to whoever brought this to the Top Hops Tasting.

a - Pours a murky pale yellow color with a few white bubbles and low to moderate carbonation.

s - Smells of peaches, lightly sour fruits, citrus, light spice, wheat, some funk, and light rubber, which I think is from the funk. Nice peach up front, though the funky rubber balloon smell docks it a bit for me.

t - Tastes of peaches, fruit, earthy notes, spice, hay, funk, citrus, lightly sour fruits, grains, and wheat. Better than the nose as that weird rubber smell isn't present in the taste.

m - Light body and low to moderate carbonation. Not too sour or acedic, pretty easy to drink.

o - Overall a pretty nice berliner from a NY brewery I've never heard of. Nose was a little weird and funky, but the taste was much better, and the peach shined through. Would try it again for sure.
