Dogfish Head Festina Pêche

Pour:

The beer pours well with a huge head with a standard 45° angle to vertical.

Appearance:

Beer is light straw color, very clear.  Initially pour with a think white head, which quickly dissipated to a thin white layer.  Looks highly carbonated with lots of bubble quickly rising from the bottom.

Aroma:

The aroma is light, fruity, and tart.

Taste:

Dominated up front by a fruity peach flavor, which quickly swings to a dry, crisp,  tart effervescent mouth feel. The tartness lingers for a long time, coating the mouth, building over each sip.

Drinkability:

Tart and Dry.  I found that the tartness of the beer was better balanced by the peach flavor as it warmed up slightly to about 50°.

Food Pairing:

Fresh Fruit – peaches and strawberries
