Peach City is a fruited IPA with our house English yeast and fresh peaches to add to the stone fruit and citrus notes from the Citra, El Dorado and Azzaca hops. This bright and refreshing take on a peach IPA will still carry the balance of a New England IPA but add the fruitiness and slight tart nature of a fresh Georgia peach! Thick and fluffy mouthfeel with big notes of stone fruit, succulent peaches, candied citrus and some refined bitterness. Take a bite into this fresh fruited hop bomb!

16 fl oz pull-tab cans sold in 4-packs in New Orleans, LA for $12.99 USD plus tax. No canned-on/best before date appears on the can or label, but the store I got it at had just gotten it delivered.
7.5% ABV. "Ale with natural flavors." "New England Style IPA with peaches, apricots, and Azacca, Citra, and El Dorado hops."
BODY: Hazy pulpy orange. Murky and dull, lacking life, filtration, or vibrance.
HEAD: ~2-3cm in height. Off-white. Not very robust, creamy, or soft.
AROMA: Orange pulp. There's citrus but no acidity or sharpness to it. Peach and apricot are present but drown in the fruit pulp aromatics...maybe they're fresher and more distinct in flavour than aroma? I sure hope so...
Hop profile seems decent. Aromatic intensity is poor...this seems to have the hoppiness you'd find in a typical pale ale.
TASTE & TEXTURE: Ill-defined, lacking clear distinct notes. I get murky fruit pulp blended haphazardly with vaguely fruity and citrusy hop flavours. Thick and less drinkable than most IPAs. Suffers from its lack of filtration. The pale malt/wheat backbone is okay, drifting too heavily towards wheat and maybe oats for my taste. Hop flavours are poorly defined; no hop is well showcased in this beer and it has hop pungency more on par with a mediocre pale ale than a proper IPA.
I do dig a good fruited IPA, but this isn't one of them.

Smooth, stone fruit, super hazy (opaque), pithy, low bitterness. Well masked ABV, so CRUSHABLE at 7.5%.
