Overall Impression:
Wheach is loaded with peach flavor and has a refreshing, crisp taste. This is an easy drinking summer beer that would be nice on a hot day. The beer is pretty straight forward, it's called Wheach because it's just that... a wheat with peach flavor. What's not to like?
I first had a Wheach about a year ago, back when they were still using the annoying sticker labels. This time around the Wheach comes with a proper label... but the label doesn't have any bearing on the taste, so never mind. The Wheach isn't a complex beer... It is what it is, which is a wheat beer with a bit of peach. Actually, it has quite a bit of peach flavor. If you don't like peaches then you might not enjoy the Wheach. There isn't much more to this beer than that. Peaches... that being said, I happen to like peaches. But peaches in your beer? Really? It isn't much different than having a lemon slice with your wheat beer if you think about it, and it's a hell of a lot better than having lime with your Bud Light...
Wheach reminds a lot of the Apricot Weizen, and for good reason. Fruit beers, especially those that start life as a wheat, all have that same tart finish. If I had my choice of the Apricot Weizen and the Wheach, I'd probably take the apricot beer, but it'd be close.
