Intro: A 500ml can, with a best before date of 14th December 2018. Poured into a Spiegelau IPA glass.
Appearance: A lightly hazy golden orange colour with a big three finger cream head that had pretty good retention and left lots of nice lacing.
Aroma: Peach, herbal, lemon peel and some pepper.
Taste: Peach, peach juice, lemon peel, lime and alcohol.

Overall: Aroma didn’t really have enough peach considering its name, and while there was nice peach in the taste, the booziness was quite apparent, and a little overpowering.

Intro: A 500ml can, with a best before date of 14th December 2018. Poured into a Spiegelau IPA glass.
Appearance: A hazy golden straw yellow colour with a big four finger white head that had good retention and left lots of nice sticky lacing.
Aroma: A little light, but there’s pineapple, cantaloupe, grapefruit, orange and a touch of pine.
Taste: Creamy sweetness like milk candy, peach, apricot, pineapple and papaya with a light citrus bitterness, grapefruit zest and pith.
Mouthfeel: Creamy, medium bodied with moderate carbonation.
Overall: It tastes better than the aroma suggests. That creamy milk candy sweetness with tropical fruits just mixes really well together for my palate.

My rating: 3
My beeradvocate.com rating: 3.83
My ratebeer.com rating: 3.6

Intro: A 500ml can, with a best before date of 25th April 2019. Poured into a Lost Abbey teku glass.
Appearance: A hazy golden straw yellow orange colour with a big three finger white head that had great retention and left lots of nice lacing.
Aroma: Lemon tea, lemon peel, floral, perfume-y, rosewater with hints of pine.
Taste: Lightly bitter, lemon peel, grapefruit, citrus rind, lemon tea, floral.
Mouthfeel: Medium to full bodied with moderate to low carbonation.
Overall: Not bad, perhaps a bit too floral for me, and yet, also not easy to describe, as its not really bitter like an IPA, nor is it really juicy like a NEIPA. Also body was too heavy for my liking as an IPA.
