What Our Panel Thought
Aroma: “Peachie-O candies, apricot, red berry, cherry, and a hint of brown sugar. A grassy hops aroma, with a light peach fruit aspect and a bit of tartness add great complexity.”
Flavor: “There’s a strong impression of sweetness, but overall the beer isn’t very sweet even up front. Huge ester bomb with notes of raspberry, peach, honeydew, strawberry, plum. These all blend well with the medium toast malt. Bitterness opens up a light piney character to confirm that it actually is flavored with a tree.”
Overall: “The bitterness might be a touch high, but it really helps bring things together. The additions are balanced well with the underlying beer and with the hops character; a crazy and intriguing complexity to what could have been a simple and straightforward beer.”
