Description: 

Kentucky Peach Barrel Wheat Ale is a light, crisp ale perfect for lazy, sun-drenched summer days. Images of your real (or fanciful) old Kentucky home in bourbon country are conjured up with every sip, thanks to the brew’s six-week aging period in fresh Kentucky bourbon barrels. Our barrel-aging process balances hints of caramel and vanilla and subtle cereal notes with the juiciness of a fresh ripe peach, creating a golden color. Enjoy this light-bodied, refreshing offering before the bright rays of summer fade into fall. (Description provided by company)

Pours a crystal clear gold with a half finger of head. Head has almost no retention and is gone in seconds.

Nose is what you would expect, with the peach aromas quite pronounced, but not overpowering. Some subtle wheat malt aromas are present as well.

Taste is very dry, with the peach flavors present, but the peach sweetness masked by alcohol and some woody flavors. No real hop flavor or bitterness, and malt flavor is present more toward the finish.

Pretty lively carbonation, and a fairly light body.

The Peach Barrel Ale has a nice balanced nose, but the flavor is a little bit less balanced and enjoyable. The woody and peach flavors don't seem to mesh very well, and all in all it wasn't that enjoyable.
