Peaches And Cream Ale
Fearless Brewing Company

Taster at Sparkys. This beer is light everywhere, body, aroma, taste. Not very creamy. Peaches are barely there, dry finish, overall thin body. Misses on all marks.

16 oz can from Lifesource Natural Grocer in Salem. $2.49 Pours an ever so slightly hazy yellow with a nice sized slightly dirty white head. Head is thick and creamy in texture. Nice aromas o fresh peaches.its like you can actually smell the skin and pit..that separates this from more artificial creations..very good indeed. Taste however does not have that much peach..ist more smooth and cream of wheat..has a bit of peach pit in the end. Mouthfeel is fine and smooth with medium carbonation for the summer. Nice enough easy drink but could have been so much more judging by the aroma.

Lovely golden amber brew with piles of foam in the ribbed IPA glass. It does smell like peaches, slightly, with something like cookies and straw. Quite tangy but the odd malty, grainy flavor lingers long. I think of bitterish honey.

The aftertaste is oddly astringent, like grape seeds. It substitutes for hoppy bitterness. I think I'd call it a Fruit Beer instead of a Cream Ale. It's quite drinkable, though neither as fruity or as refreshing as you might want. From the 16 oz can purchased in Eugene.

From tap at the brewery. All the other reviews seem to be from folks that have only had from a can. Perhaps on tap is better because I think this is a decent offering. It seems to me to be a sour, but it's not listed as such. Nice peach start with a good tart ending! Leah and I rather enjoyed this one!

 

 

 

At the end of the day, it's whether you'll drink the beer and I'd say this one is worth drinking once but not again.

I don't like fruit beers. If you like fruit beers then maybe you will love this one. It smells of peach. It tastes at first not of any fruit but the backend is floral and perfumey. Does it make me want to barf? No. Decent enough body and balance, but seriously, what's up with the perfume taste? Would I drink it again? Nope.

 

Hazy pale gold with two fingers of light foamy head. Head lasts more than five minutes and leaves splotches of lace.
Smell is bready malt with some peaches.
Taste is lightly toasted malts with a nice herbal hop bitterness. The peach flavor is subtle and lightly dances on top of the malts and hops.
Mouthfeel is just above light with ample carbonation. Finish is lightly dry and bitter.
Overall an interesting beer. Worth a try for sure. My pint can says the abv is 4.6%.

If you have selected this beer, you probably won't be disappointed with this ale. Peaches brighten the aroma and are prominent in the flavor, with more jam in the nose and peach cider in the mouth. With the expectation of peaches in mind, this is a well balanced peach ale, with coordinated levels of malt and peach flavors. Mildly bitter and slightly tart.

 

16 oz can. Pours clear golden with medium thick white head. Nose of peaches and cream oatmeal. Taste is of intense peach balanced by bitter hop. Good summer beer.

Appearance : Slight haze, golden straw color. Head is fluffy and large, rocky too. Leaves webs of lace as it recedes.

Smell : Quite a bit of peach, and some cheesy cottage cheese aroma as well - not sure how I feel about that, some cracker malts and a faint grassy note.

Taste : Clashes badly. A lot of tin, some ugly corn going on, overhopped for a wheat ale, and the peaches are simply reduced to skins in the background. It ends with peaches and a little cream, but the hop remains making the experience a bitter, pitiful one.

Feel : Cream is where they got it right on the feel. It's very creamy, very dense, and properly carbonated. A slight dry bite finishes out the mouth.

Overall : Everything was ok except for the taste, and that's what it really boils down to. I won't be buying this again, and don't recommend it.

 

 

 

Poured from 16oz tall can into a pint glass.

Appearance: light gold hue with a touch of haze and a lazy effervescence. Head is a thick finger of pillowy white foam. Not too bad for the style.

Smell: lightly corny malt aroma and a strong peach element. I'm not saying this doesn't smell exactly like a peach cream ale should, but I am saying that maybe a peach cream ale isn't maybe the best idea in the world. Not bad, but, these items may not go together.

Taste: much like the aroma, this is exactly what a peach cream ale should taste like but I'm not so sure that's a good thing. A bit corny with a very light bitterness, check. A big peach flavor, check. Perfect harmony? Not so much. Still ... it has its endearing qualities.

Mouthfeel: light body but with a big carbonation and an engaging creaminess. I like it.

Overall: for all its weirdness, it's drinkable and refreshing. Bad idea with a good execution? A beer whose formula is driven primarily by a fun name? Whatever the case, this beer is worth trying, if only for the novelty.
