AROMA: (4) The aroma is stunning from peach and smells far from the glass even without twirling the testing glass. It is difficult to detect any other scents since the peach smell is overwhelming.
TASTE: (5) The taste is sweet with an initial bitterness that goes away and then comes back as a boomerang. It is very drinkable despite the high alcohol level and the sweet taste.
EXTRA: (4) Definitely an interesting beer to test. It is always fun when someone invents something new and it happens now and then that breweries are experiencing with mixing fruit to a regular beer style instead of imitating the gueuze/lambic concept. One good example I think is Frombozen from New Belgium where raspberry has been mixed with a brown ale.

This beer is called Peche Mel - Scaldis on the label I have but on their website they call it Peche Mel - Bush and the picture shows a different label for this beer that is obvious the same. The website also reveals that originally this beer was born as a mix of the Bush amber beer with a peach gueuze and was invented by students who wanted a 'cocktail' drink.
