Had this at Belmont Station in Portland, August 2015. Surprised I liked it, fruited ipas ain't my jam.

Pours an amber peach infused color with a thin 1/5" off white head. Aroma fit the commercial tug job, stone fruit of peaches meets tried and true Amarillo hop citrus impact.

Taste had a reasonable amount of peach, not so much that it dominates the rest of the beer. Nice and light. Amarillo shows its versatility, working nice in terms of a complimentary aroma and bitterness to keep the peach from taking the beer into too fruity or sweet territory. Still hits dry on the end. Carbonation right for something like this. You know New Belgium doesn't get enough credit for what it does with some fruit where you wouldn't expect it to work. A peach ipa, works. A pumpkin cranberry (the old kick, not the new one that sucks) wild ale, sure.

Definitely one of the more respectable fruited ipas I've ever had. If you like fruited ipas, then my review should be perceived as like a 4.5/5, I'm not inclined to like them.

Poured on draft at the Oregon Brewer's Festival. Pours a deep orange with a billowy head and thin, delicate lacing. The nose reeks of citrus, not specifically peaches but passionfruit and the like. The taste follows suit, and the peaches are definitely present. This medium bodied brew finishes slightly sticky. Super glad to have tried it. Cheers!
