Melba pours a light gold in colour and it's peachy character is complemented beautifully by the use of highly aromatic US hops.

Cask at Sun, Stafford. Pours golden yellow with a medium sized foamy almost white head and good lacing. The aroma is mainly peaches with some hints of biscuits. In the mouth it is quite sweet with a creamy texture. Flavour is floral hops and tinned peaches plus traces of gooseberry and elderflower. Some bitterness comes through later but the finish is still peachy. This is reasonable – but I’m not exactly keen on the craze for peach beers !

Gravity poured half pint at a beer festival in the Pheasant, Wellington on 17th July 2026. Light golden body, white crown on top. Strong peach aroma and taste, it's fine if you are peachy, I'm not!

From Wittich at Olten, for me, it was not my favourite ipa, aromatic peach note at the nose but at the mouth it is watery and weak, grainy, 15.02.20, from Wittisch, Olten, drinking it at Epalinges.

Wie Pesca Fritz ohne Süsse. Respekt für die ausgeprägte Pfirsichnote.

440ml can on 20th December 2020 from Beer52 Advent Calendar. Pours clear gold with virtually no foam or lace. Peach and citrus hop aromas. Light citrus and floral hops blend gently in-mouth, and peach fronts the finish. Medium bodied with a zingy mouthfeel.
