For our third installment of the Pie Hard series, we’re going Peach Cobbler all the way: peaches, cinnamon, vanilla and a touch of creamy milk sugar.

Ok, I am way out of my comfort zone for this beer, but figured its time to drink the can. 16 oz can Date stamp is 11-24-2021. Can is cold straight out of my fridge and poured into a snifter.
The beer pours a hazy and murky orange juice color with a fizzy and frothy bleached white head that foams up about.5 cm and fades to nothing very soon after I finish the pour. There is definitely some cloudy sediment in the glass.
Aroma on this beer is a lot of peach and cinnamon with some buttery dough and vanilla. Nose is pretty sweet, no hint of any hop character on this one!
First sip reveals a light to medium body with smooth texture and fine prickly carbonation. The carbonation definitely stings my palate a bit on each sip. Beer dries a little on the swallow.
Flavor is sweet and slightly tart peaches up front and these carry through. I get cinnamon and pie dough in the middle and vanilla kicks in and carries the finish. The peaches come back on the finish. No real hop character and the ABV is completely hidden.
This isnt something I would choose to drink on the regular, but I find this enjoyable to close out the evening.
If you like this sort of style, I suspect this is a very good example to get your hands on.
