Right Near The Peach Boyeeee
Noon Whistle Brewing Co.

 

Hazy pale straw with half finger white head. Nose is a blast of peach, smells like freshly mashed ripe peaches. Taste follows the nose with blast of ripe peaches up front with slight malt middle and pit characteristics with that fuzzy tang from peaches at the end. In the bottom of the can there was what looked like frozen peaches mashed up. What a wonderful peach beer, like drinking peach smoothie that’s balanced with soft bitterness

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a one pint can on December 5, 2020.

 

 

 

 

 

Pours a hazy completely opaque matte orange color. Thinnish off-white head dissipates steadily leaving some residual foam along the outside of the beer.

Smell has a strong aroma of peach, reminiscent of canned peaches. Some sweet tropical fruit smells come through as well. Aroma is pretty sweet, but there are hints of grassy bitterness.

Taste follows the nose with lots of peaches initially in the flavor. Peaches taste like the peaches you get in a fruit on the bottom yogurt cup. On the sweet side, but not too sweet. Touch of other tropical fruits come through, but far more subdued. A ting of bitterness reminiscent of dried grass and orange rind is noted on the back end. Pretty spot on for the "NE style" just a tad sweeter, but thats likely from the addition of the peach.

Feel is appropriate for the NE style. Full bodied mouthfeel. Mild to medium carbonation. Incredibly smooth.

Overall a really well done NE style IPA and a worthy contribution to the style here in Chicagoland.

 

Man. Had big hopes for this one, but the peach was just TOO much. Don't get me wrong. It was a solid beer. The peach was just very assertive.
