White Oak Peach IPA
Cigar City Brewing

 

A bear fast breaker for sure. Amazing beer!

In what's likely the official beer of Florida, Jai Alai has always been a fan favorite for resident and vacationers alike. But putting a white oak and peach spin on the brand is sure to appetize the palates of hop heads once more.

Mid-gold, moderately hazy and rounded off with a creamy white foam, Peach White Oak Jai Alai graces the senses with a the hoppy perfume of citrus, tropical and stone fruit, but the light drift of peach is a welcome accent. Mildly sweet on the early palate, notions of caramel, nuttiness and honey leaves impressions of granola behind.

But the hops take control of the taste once the summery ale splashes the middle palate. That's when a burst of pink grapefruit and ripe oranges leap right out. Backed with nuanced pineapple and apricot, the original Jai Alai stops there, but the later taste of peach adds a recognizable orchard fruit nuance before diving into a recognizable bitterness of citrus peel, tropical peel and pine resins.

Medium bodied but seeming lighter, brighter and easier on the palate, the peachy ale finishes fruity-fresh, briskly bitter and fantastically refreshing with a long, lean and bitter dryness in aftertaste.

 

 

 

 

 

 

pours a nice golden orange.. the smell is dry peach and citrus... the taste is a beautiful hop presence with peach on it.. the peach is not overpowering.. it is a nice addition.. this is the best IPA I have had in a long long time..

 

Wow! This one was served in a plastic, pilsner like taster at Proof's Tap invitational in Tallahassee Florida, and it definitely stole the show, and was the first tap to go.

The look was was familiar to the jai alai, caramel in color with a little more orange tint probably due to the peach

smell was similar to the white oak with notes of citrus and vanilla, but the peach came through and shined

taste was awesome, probably the best tasting and easiest drinking beer at the event. The white oak definitely tones down the bitterness of certain hops, and the peach added a great fruity flavor, however it was not overwhelming and allowed the happiness of the jai alai to still shine.

Overall great beer and i wish i could have it canned, because it would definitely be a favorite

Jai Alai is already world class. White oak takes it to another level. The peach is not quite as good, but that's comparing to world class! It's amazing!
