Served on tap at Summit's Wayside Tavern in Snellville September 4, 2012. Reviewed from notes.

(Appearance) Very deep hazy peach tea tones, light wispy head and mild carbonation. 4

(Smell) Peaches in heavy peach syrup, syrupy cobbler malt base. Not particularly groundbreaking in originality but appealing should you like peaches. 3

(Taste) Taste is mildly sweet dessert like peach cobbler, light peach syrup, caramel drizzle with a muted semi dry roasted cracker crust finish. I actually found the flavor profile limited somewhat which did not excite the flavor profile much. Sweetness wasn't overkilled on the palate, a big plus in terms of drinkability. Not much beyond spiked peaches and a bit of malt where a ton of body could be, but the alcohol is concealed surprisingly well for such a high gravity beer. 3.5

(Mouthfeel) Taste is sweet, silky smooth, even a bit fuzzy. Alcohol presence is quite low, body is medium. Texture is probably best as the malt bill isn't the main feature of this beer, but with a bit more body and dimension the carbonation could afford to increase. 4

(Overall) In terms of beer, this is hardly there. There's a ton of peach flavor but not much body to build any complexity to the flavor profile. The end result is short of a slightly dry, slightly unsweetened peach cobbler. Drinkability will vary depending on the drinker's peach cravings, but my bet is that a maximum of 1 decent glass of this will do the job for most. 3.5

The imperial version of Son of a Peach recently released by RJ Rockers. More alcohol and more peaches!

Served from tap into an RJ Rockers shaker by Mark himself. Poured a massively hazy yellow-orange with a minimal off-white head. Maintained decent lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, wheat, peach, fruit, subtle alcohol, and spices. The flavor was of sweet malt, peach, wheat, bread, subtle alcohol, and coriander. It had a medium feel on the palate with medium carbonation. Overall this was a fairly good brew. I really like how they did this one compared to the prototype they had awhile back. The addition of coriander really added a nice touch to this one by helping to cut some of the sweetness from the peahces. When I said 'massively hazy' I mean no light can pentrate through the center of this thing. Crazy for a beer this light in color. Really nice to see Rockers branching out and trying new things. Really hope they continue to do so in the future as well. Tick.
