I tried it Monday night there. A lot more on the tart/sour side, peach isn't too strong but this was my third fruit beer of the night, taste buds might've been mangled. A lot more emphasis on the Berliner Weisse style than the fruit. I really enjoyed it, worth another glass if I am back within the next week. A very different flavour from the much sweeter Oast Konnichiwa, which is the peach beer all over the place right now.

It's here. Peach, Don't Kill My Vibe is available on draft and in our tap room!

(It's a peach Berliner Weisse)
Perfect in every way!

This appeared in a package from a pal in Vancouver last fall/winter sometime and it blew me away. Was my first beer at this past Cask Days for a reason.

Would think that this should be drank fresh as it's dry-hopped and kettle soured. Should only fall off with age. Would be interested to hear how they compare side-by-side.

Have you had it fresh, and if so, was there much difference?
