    Although I haven't had it in awhile, I always think of peach when I think of FFF Dreadnaught..

    Although I enjoy Aprihop and Racer 5, I get more apricot in Aprihop, and tropical fruit in Racer fruit.

    That would have been my first response too, but more of a dry peach, not peach forward.

    I think that's the hard part, is that IPAs are typically dry (and should be), so you aren't going to get many IPAs that are also that sweet juicy peach flavor.

    Best to make your own - I'd pick something like Sculpin that is close, and press peach juice into it.

    New Belgium Rampant. Maybe it is the suggestive labeling, but I pick up solid peach notes from it. Plus, it is affordable and available.

    Umm, what? Aprihop is apricot, not peach.....and it's freaking lousy IMO.

    i'm pretty sure MH #9 is flavored with real apricots...if you like this, then you might want to try Ithaca apricot wheat, and like someone else said, dogfish Aprihop, although I didn't get a really sweet apricot note from that. I sometimes get a really sweet peach note from beers that aren't totally fresh. I think it is an ester that the hops usually cover up. but maybe this is something different, it usually isn't totally pleasing

    The first thing that came to my mind when I was drinking Dirtwolf was peaches.

    Not sure which part of NY you are in or if you get out to Jersey at all, but Spellbound Brewing in Mt. Holly, NJ has a Peach DIPA as part of their daily lineup. It's brewery only, but if you wanted to make a trip down or have someone send you a growler it may be worth it. I though it was a great beer.

    I've never drank an IPA and thought it tasted like peaches. Have heard this descriptor used, but never experienced it. Have had Brooklyn Blast and Hi Res also... try Chillwave. It's got some of that tropical/perceptively sweet fruity hop flavor... I wouldn't say peaches but some people might.

    I get prominent notes of Peach in Bell's Hopslam.

    Voodoo Bourmuda Triangle tastes like delicious barrel aged peach rings. Yes, Peach rings. It's fucking unreal.

    Long Trail Limbo is pretty much peach juice.

    Disagree, but it is damn good.

    I'm sure you could find some peach notes in Chillwave too.
