Sunday Sips: Festina Peche

Beer Name:  Festina Peche

Brewed By/In:  Dogfish Head Brewing Co. / Milton, DE

Beer Type:  Berliner Weisse

Best Served In:  Pint glass

ABV:  4.5%

Characteristics:  Smells of sweet, ripe peaches.  Pours with vibrant carbonation, golden star color, and topped with pure white foam.  There is a slight tartness that balances the sweet peach sugars.  Extremely low bitterness allows you to simply enjoy the light fruit-forward flavors.  Finishes bready, dry and crisp.  Light mouthfeel.

Food-pairing:  Salad, grilled poultry or seafood

Overall: 9.5 - what an amazing seasonal beer.  Dogfish Head never ceases to amaze me with what they brew up.  Perfectly built for summer nights, Peche has a refreshing finish.  With such low alcohol and bitterness, you can happily have another glass.  As Dogfish Head recommends, just open and enjoy!  Slainte!
