A refreshing neo-BerlinerWeisse fermented with honest-to-goodness peaches to (get this!) 4.5% abv! Because extreme beers don't have to be extremely boozy! Available in 4-pack and draft during the sweaty months.
Sadly, there are only a few breweries left in Berlin still brewing the BerlinerWeisse style which is characterized by its intense tartness (some say sour). There were once over 70 breweries in Berlin alone making this beer! In addition to fermentation with an ale yeast, Berliner Weisse is traditionally fermented with lactic cultures to produce its acidic or green apple-like character. It is delicately hopped with a pale straw color and served as an aperitif or summertime quencher. To soften the intense sourness, Berliner Weisse is traditionally served with a dash of essence of woodruff or raspberry syrup.
In our Festina Peche since the natural peach sugars are eaten by the yeast, the fruit complexity is woven into both the aroma and the taste of the beer so there is no need to doctor it with woodruff or raspberry syrup - open and enjoy!

tart
Very tart, but true to the weisse style. If you dont like light and tart, this is not for you
Couldn't do it
Huge fan of dogfish head, but not a big fan of fruit beers. Dogfish aprihop was brewed superbly, so I assumed they could brew a peach without an overpowering fruity taste. MUST SAY THIS WAS MY LEAST FAVORITE CRAFT BEER EVER!
Overall it's a funky beer. Fruity, yet extremely bitter. Only buy if commensurate with your taste.
Tried at Hopleaf in Chicago
Light straw color, pours with medium bubbles on the head, retains nice thin head for duration.
Peach is clearly evident on first smell.
Taste is crisp and sharp. Peach flavors pull through clearly with a cidery finish. Very effervescent, fills the mouth with flavor and carbonation.
