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.

Stone City Ales ‏@StoneCityAles Aug 28
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?
