Peel Pusher
Columbus Brewing Company

 

Fairly uniformly hazy yellow with a flat white head.

it gives off Tang vibes, almost as if artificially flavored, despite how old it was. The can was a few months, but I didn't get any bad, off-note like cardboard or anything. It was surprisingly juicy, but again, in an unpleasantly flavored powder drink sort of way.

Pint pour on draught at the brewery. It pours a pretty, burnished orange color with a half finger cap of fluffy, eggnog-colored foam and very thick, clinging lacing. The nose is surprisingly mellow with notes of orange/tangerine, lemon, lime, grapefruit, and tropical fruit. The flavor abounds with bright orange zest, along with sweeter passion fruit and tart lemon and grapefruit. The HBC-856 hops add some herbal notes the Idaho 7 contributes some piney taste. But overall, Peel Pusher is an orange bomb. This ale is crisp and lite with fairly lively carbonation and it drinks below the 8.5% ABV. Overall, Peel Pusher is a great summertime DIPA. It paired nicely with a caesar salad with salmon.

 

 

 

 

 

I got a can of this beer of the single shelf from my local Giant Eagle store. It poured a slightly hazy golden with thin white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had fresh mango and peach notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with crisp light malt base with bright orange, peach and mango presence. The mouthfeel is medium in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a good beer.

 

 

 

Pours a slightly hazy orange color (but it’s more of an unfiltered hazy bs a turbid hazy) with a creamy white head that provides significant lacing. The nose is a sledgehammer of orange aromas and some mango and peach for good measure.

The oranges are forward and aggressive on the taste - but there’s enough mango and peach for balance. The full, dry mouthfeel masks any hint of the 8.5% ABV.

If you don’t like oranges, avoid this beer. But if you do like oranges (raises hand), this is an absolute delight to drink.
