Sam Calagione, founder of Dogfish Head, is a true Renaissance man in the craftbrew world. He has written multiple books on beer, appeared in two documentary films about beer and developed and starred in a series for the Discovery Channel ("Brew Masters") about his beloved brewery. Never one to rest on his laurels, Calagione has helped Dogfish Head redefine the craftbeer revolution with nearly every new release. Dogfish Head Festina Peche is "a refreshing neo-Berliner Weisse fermented with peaches."
Festina Peche pours a very cloudy light golden color with a moderate white head and high carbonation. The nose consists of aromas of tart citrus, apricot, wildflowers and bread. Flavors of peach and light sweet malt blend in with the natural tart flavors produced by lactobacillus bacteria, which is added into the fermentation vessels. The finish is light and dry with hints of peach and sourness. Festina Peche is a complimentary quaffer for a mixed greens salad with grilled chicken or a mild grilled fish.
