Peaches & Her
Sew Hop'd Brewery & Taproom

16oz can poured into a snifter shows a dull, murky yellow-orange-reddish hue that actually reminds me of peach flesh: redder toward the middle of the glass. A 1/4" cap of mixed white bubbles evaporates quickly and no lacing forms.

Aroma has muted peach notes, with grassiness, and flows into the taste. Floral, earthy hints with pith and skin influence of peach detected more than peach flesh.

Mouthfeel is thin, but still maintains an almost mealy, gritty feel in a light medium body.

Overall a bit of a miss.

Served from the can in a Phase Three snifter.

My buddy's wife wanted to give this one a shot, so what kind of ticker would I be if I didn't oblige? This stuff pours a cloudy sunset amber-orange topped by a finger of glowing off-white foam. The nose comprises cracked wheat, light coriander, mild peach pulp, and a waft of sweet flowers. The taste generally brings in more of the same, though things have gone decidedly sideways here. The way I described it to my boi was to compare it to a fruit smoothie I had made a couple weeks ago, one that contained peaches and pineapple bits: Though the fruit by itself tasted fine, once it was blended and added to the smoothie base, it took on a decidedly pith-laden flavor, any semblance of the fruit proper or its juices or whatnot is gone, replaced with only inner rind and pain. I'm not sure why peaches seem to do this, but it's quite the letdown when it happens. The body is a light medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a fluid feel. Overall, a nice idea with otherwise quality execution that's unfortunately ruined by the peach element.
