Festina Peche

The Beer Stats:
  • Beer Name: Festina peche
  • Brewery: DogFish Head Brewing Company (Delaware)
  • Style: Berliner Weisse
  • ABV: 4.5
  • IBU: 8
  • Pour Color: A nice golden slightly green color and with the slightest fog to the glass.




      Just as the Face opens the bottle I get a nice scent off this one. A nice peach scent is easily smelled before it's poured. The pour came out golden and slightly hazy. It still can be seen through easy. The head was about a finger high for a few seconds before it disappeared. The scent off the glass was a little more of a fresh sour dough and peach mix. This one is a sour wheat beer and tastes like it. The peach though really makes a weird balance that seems to work. The echo of the wheat on the after taste is my favorite part of this one. Really a decent summer seasonal. 
      This one is a nice little seasonal that some really wouldn't enjoy. The sour is certainly in the taste of this one. While to me Apollo was overpoweringly sour, I didn't get that from this sour beer. It had enough bread and peach to give it a crispness and a balance. That nice peach flavor makes it quite refreshing for a summer swim in.
