Peaches & Memes
Windmill Brewing

 

 

 

Ordered from Tavour, chilled, and poured into an imperial pint glass.

Look: hazy yellow with a small quarter finger size off white head that hung around and left behind a small ring of foam.
Smell: peaches, vanilla and a little malt, no hops on the nose
Taste: peaches up front (super light, like a fruit cup of peaches), heavy vanilla following with a little hop bite, a tad hop bitterness, lingering peaches and vanilla cream flavor that hangs a while on the back end
Feel: medium to light mouthfeel with a super light tickle of carbonation that dissipated as it warmed. Nice mouthfeel on the tongue as it warmed, guess we have the lactose to thank for that.

We are not super IPA fans. Living in the PNW makes it difficult to get good beer in the warmer months because everyone makes and drinks IPAs here. This one was an exception to the normal IPA. The mosaic hops blend well with the peaches, leaving a hazy IPA light fruit beer with chasing vanilla that really bring all the flavors together. The lactose adds to sweetness and mouthfeel, making this incredibly drinkable.

Cheers everyone!

 

16oz can from Tavour. Milky, hazy yellow pour, tight skin of head. Peachy, stone fruit aroma with milky notes. Taste is a peach smoothie, pure and simple. Lactose very prominent.

A: The beer is hazy and a bit pale yellow in color. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that left a narrow collar of white bubbles around the edge of the glass.
S: Light aromas of peaches are present in the nose along with hints of vanilla.
T: The taste follows the smell but has a bit stronger flavors of peaches and hints of citrusy hops. No bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied and a bit juicy and smooth on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: I enjoyed the splashes of peaches in the smell and taste of this beer. It was a refreshing change of pace.

Serving type: can

 

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a one pint can on October 5, 2018. Milkshake style IPA with Michigan peaches, lactose and vanilla beans. Recommended.
