12oz bottle, from a 4-pack.
OK. Had a few Berliner Weissbiers in the past, but almost always with the added syrup. I think this style NEEDS the added syrup so I was a bit concerned about the fact that apparently the syrup had been replaced by fruit in the form of peaches. I wasn’t sure it would work, but in matters such as these I tend to trust DFH.
Obviously light and cloudy looking, pretty much exactly as I was expecting. Some peach in the nose, but not much. To be honest I think the ABV is a little high for the style. As for the taste, well the peach flavor does NOT make an impact in the way that the syrup would, and as a result this is basically a tart, light beer that is unsatisfied by the peach. Mouthfeel is weak. All in all, the tartness, the lack of significant flavor, the weakness of the fruit and the ABV fail to bring this beer together for me.
Quite a weak offering from DFH, this is one of those DFH beers that just doesn’t quite capture it. With such innovative brewing there will always be a few misses, this is one of them.
