Day #35- Dogfish Head Festina Peche

"Malt Beverage brewed with peach concentrate" is marked on the front of the bottle.

Oh, gawd. Gulp. Stickiness, tartiness, sugary sourness of a disgusting cider.

The glass is filled with a million bubbles, closely resembling a Sprite that I just peed into a little bit. And tastes like that mostly.

It reminded me of New Years a bit, the cheap taste of fake champagne on my tongued mixed with the tartiness of eating a bag of megawarheads. Remember those?

This is hardly beer. I assume "Festina Peche" means "Peach fest". They got that right. But they forgot to add "Poo-poo".

Brett's ratings are out of 100.

*Please understand that ratings on this scale have been influenced by my scholastic history of grading. A grade below 75 is not good, it is less than average. A beer below 60 is bad. Beers in the 90s are in the upper-echelon of beers on this earth, and above 95- divinely inspired.*

As with all connoisseurs, personal taste affects all ratings. The best ratings tend to lean towards his two different biases; 1) Well-crafted heavy Stouts and 2) Lagers made with a simple perfection.

Please understand that just because Brett gives a beer a high rating doesn't mean you may think it is good. Only understand that if he gives it a high rating it is because most people who have a good taste in beer would do the same.
