Dry Hop Peach Sour
Untitled Art

2020-06-14
16oz can served in a SIP Fest 2020 snulip.

Pours thick, shaky, orange, with a small head. Smell is fruit, probably peach, some oranges, and I get a little mango out of it.

Taste is really juicy. Orange juice and peach. Not particularly sour (as in, not sour enough). Still tasty.

Mouthfeel is thick and juicy. Overall, nice.

Peachy! I almost never get anything from Untitled Art, due to the price point, but my friend really wanted to try this, so we picked up a four-pack.

Pours with a body that looks like carbonated peach nectar. Head is fluffy, plentiful and soapy with an orange tint. No lacing besides a couple speckles. Lovely can art.

Smells strongly of yellow peach. Hints of papaya, mango, pineapple, orange and pomelo underneath, but mostly overripe yellow peaches. Sweet floral notes like jasmine, vanilla and ylang-ylang on the finish, but no real malt presence to speak of. Maybe a hint of plain wheat crackers.

Very peach-forward on the palate as well, but convoluted with considerably more funky floral and bitter flavors, making it not the smoothest peach smoothie to sip on. It also tastes like it has some lactose, which I always find adds an artificial sweetness that deserves no place in any beer, in my honest opinion.

The texture is okay, but too syrupy for a sour, and too frothy, from the lactose. Sours are supposed to be crisp and dry. Not rich like a damn milkshake. Whatever.

It's really over-engineered, and it absolutely shows. But, not awful. We drank them all. Cheers!

 

Look: Opaque and murky deep gold in the middle of the tulip glass. Pale gold / tangerine translucent around the edges of the glass. No visible carbonation. A big fluffy white head that disappears and leaves some lace behind.

Smell: This beer smells like the syrup in the bottom of a Dole fruit cup. Big influence from the peach puree and possibly from the hops. Nothing really to speak of in the way of kettle sour, such as lactic acidity.

Taste: The taste mirrors the aroma. Dole fruit mix. Dripping, juicy peach flesh and skin.

Feel: Pretty full bodied for the style. Creamy and smooth with a medium level of carbonation.

Overall: The aroma and taste are delicious. I would have preferred more kettle tartness and acidity to the beer and would’ve rated it even higher than I did, but overall I really enjoyed drinking this beer. Definitely no shortage of in your face peach here.

 

Pours a very cloudy golden yellow color with a small carbonated head. Head retention is very mild as is lacing. Strong peach aroma with just a hint of sourness. Juicy peach taste with some tartness at the end. Medium bodied with moderate to heavy carbonation.
