Power Up Peach IPA
J. Wakefield Brewing

The color is a cloudy amber color with a good two fingers worth of off white head. The nose on this is huge and full of peach. The flavor is much like a peach jolly rancher up front before a slight hoppy bitterness keeps it from being to cloy. The feel is medium with a dry finish. Overall this is a good fruit IPA. I was scared by the first sip being so sweet upfront but the balancing act the hops do make it very drinkable.

Poured to a stemmed BrewDog glass.

A: The body is coppery to orange with hints of west coast IPA much like the Pineapple Pop edition. In terms of appearance, they're actually the exact same beer: white head, coppery body, good retention, good lacing.
S: The aroma is incredibly sweet of peach yogurt much like Pineapple Pop again. It has a sweetness to it, besides just the fruit with a more lactose-y touch that provides a good sweet tone. There's also some tropical notes of pineapple and grapefruit in the back.
T: The taste starts off with a mango and resinous small profile then turning to a giant peachy tone. It's a round flavour present in all senses on the mouth. In the end, a more resinous and greener hoppy style is present. Probably Cascade and/or Nugget.
M: Body is medium. Carbonation is too high. Bitterness is strong with this one. Alcohol is unnoticeable.
O: Nice beer but pretty much the same beer as Pineapple Pop but with a different accent, being the difference here the peach instead of the pineapple. Worth a try at least.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Drank this beer at the brewery and took a growler home.

L - Has a cloudy orange color with a half inch of head that looks like a tropical fruit drink. An inviting looking beer.

S - The smell of peaches is fantastic. Very natural, peachy smell with a hint of citrus hops.

T - Taste doesn't live up to the smell. Don't get me wrong, the peaches are there in full force, it's just that the hops do little to balance it and kind of get lost in the taste. No definitive hop taste but a murky, slightly bitter back end to this beer. Still the peach flavor is pretty damn good.

F - The beer feels a little thin with a slight wateryness to it after the initial peach flavor. Goes down pretty easy though.

O - A pretty good beer but not quite as good as the Peach Jai Alia IPA CCB has done. The peach smell and flavor is great but the beer needs a little more support in the hops and mouthfeel.
