Smallcakes: Peach is the first beer from our ongoing collaboration with Smallcakes: A Cupcakery and Creamery - Aurora, IL and draws inspiration from their Peaches & Cream cupcake.
This double milkshake IPA is double dry-hopped with Idaho Gem, El Dorado & Citra before conditioning on vanilla and peach puree. a burst of citrus, pineapple, candied stonefruit hop flavors accompany subtle flavors of peach candy and vanilla frosting.
in addition, we've further partnered with Smallcakes Aurora to use a portion of the proceeds from every 4pk sold to buy at cost and hand-deliver Smallcakes cupcakes to first responders and area hospitals in hopes that they'll give our people on the pandemic front lines a little much needed pick-me-up.

I usually stay away from milkshake IPAs but I wanted to try this one. I might be in the minority but I did not find this one overly sweet which was a relief. I didn't think it was peach either. Most people get a bubble gum flavor out of this one and that's what I got too. Overall I'll pass next time.

At first taste i kinda dig it! But the more I drank it, it’s got a bad lady’s soap kinda taste to it that just is a huge turn off! Nice try!

Released 4/20/20; drank 4/28/20 @ the Yarchives.
Opaque dull orange/yellow appearance.
A violent pour yielded a nice eggshell head; frothy lace.
Peach ring candy & vanilla notes in the nose.
Medium thick, creamy mouthfeel.
Peach ring candy & vanilla flavors.
This is sweet as all hell; drinkable, to an extent, but over-the-top. Splitting a 16oz can 4 ways is your best bet.
