Chonk - Peaches & Cream
Drekker Brewing Company

 

 

 

The glass looks like a ripe orange sitting in a vase after pouring this. Color is grapefruit flesh with two fingers of bubbly white foam. It looks like a glass of Airborne with its larger bubbles up top. Head formation is funny slow, allowing a few 0.8 second shutter speed photos to take place before the head finalizes in size. Some floaties in the orange juice.

Aroma is strong peaches, with heavy cream and near heavy vanilla bean ice cream right behind. It's a boisterous, with peach flesh and juice dripping from the walls. Sweetness is high, but is countered by some late doughy and bready malts to keep it from running away. There is no astringency, sourness, or funk in the nose, despite the 'sundae sour' style labeled on the can.

Flavor profile is just as hearty as the nose, with ripe and full peach flesh and fruit establishing the majority of the show. Vanilla bean, akin to ice cream, swells in the back, adding to the initial sweetness put further by peaches. There is some mild funky sourness near the back 1/3 of the flavor profile, but it is quickly dispelled as the tongue is assaulted by wave after wave of sweet juice. Some faint biscuity and doughy malts give it some softness behind the peach & vanilla bean show case, but they're a minute note - an afterthought.

Mouth feel is heavy, with a medium-thick consistency and a hearty, creamy texture. Some pulpy flesh hits the tongue, but remains short of being fruit juice with pulp. It feels like room temperature ice cream with some fruit pulp in the mix for texture.

Overall, it's bold in every way - punctuated by a heavy aroma, all the way through to its hearty mouth feel. It's a lot to digest, both literally and figuratively.

Served in a 15.5oz Spiegelau tulip from a 16oz can.

 

Sweet and tart stonefruity peach and sweet vanilla nose on this one! Taste follows with sweet peach upfront...and then a creamy vanilla, slightly tart finish. This is nice and smoothie-like...I just wish the flavors were a little more pronounced and in your face. Pretty good!

Drekker Chonk Peaches and Cream Sundae Sour, 6.7% ABV. Pours bright opaque orange with a one-finger light-orange head that left puree residue. Nose is peach and vanilla ice cream. Taste follows, quite sweet, almost no tartness, slight bitterness. Excellent smooth and creamy mouthfeel wit adequate carbonation, overall excellent.

Pours a thick orange/peach color with a vanilla white cap . Smell is peaches and oranges Taste is thick with peaches. With vanilla in the finish just average on the fruit for Drekkker . A sludgy unappealing mouth feel with peaches . The worst Chonk to date I’ve had from Drekker. A drainpour
