Dogfish Head Festina Peche

Aroma: “Stone-fruit sweetness hits up front, and the fresh peach notes are evident and screaming at me to take a sip. A slight lemon tartness with a medium sour note.”

Flavor: “Up front the beer hits with a lactic tartness that is immediately followed by a sweet peach fruitiness. The sweetness is there and pronounced but it isn’t cloying like some peach beers are. The peach fruit character carries through the finish with nice carbonation.”

Overall: “The fruitiness and sourness dance well in this beer, creating a pleasing complexity of the delicate flavors of peach enhanced by the tartness of the sour. Nice sourness and carbonation level in the background showcase the fruit. Great blending of flavors.”
