Lambic Peche


Lambic Peche
- 1st of all its corked! Had to open it like wine.
- Initial smell is a bit like cheep malt liquor beer...that was odd
- Taste is nothing like malt liquor
- Semi-sweet peach flavors, bubbly CO-2, finish is also peachy sweet
- This one is different: corked, 1st smell is malty (like Old English 800), but is peachy sweet & bubbly
- Not bad, different 7/10
