Our Tastes-- Dogfish Head Festina Pêche

Still finishing out the "dog days of summer", Festina Pêche is our next brew. A pilsner pale color to this one that was shocking since it is made with real peaches. Nose is somewhat sour/tart possibly from the addition of lactic acid bacteria. It just clawed at my tongue after the first swalla. Made during the hot months, I'll be honest I may stay on the lawnmower rather than get off to have a cold one of these. It does however have it's own niche. Made in the Berliner Weiss style which was once called the "champagne of the North" by Napoleon's troops during their occupation of Berlin in 1809. Oddly enough this beer style is served many times as Himbeere (shot of raspberry) or Waldmeister (shot of woodruff) in a wide mouth goblet with a straw. Head is flat and that's it. 4.5%abv.
