Shared bottle at Thornbridge tasting at Cardinal 23.09.19. Very, very pale clear straw colour. Some white head. Aroma of artificial pears. Taste of pears, artifical pears and peach. Some hops is lingering on. Yak!

330 ml bottle, as Thornbridge Melba Peach IPA, from the Norwegian importer. ABV is 5.2%. Clear pale golden, small white head. \"Perfumed\" aroma of peaches, peach candy and fruity hops. The flavour is moderately sweet and fairly refreshing, again with notes of peaches and fruity hops, with a moderate but decent bitterness in the finish.

20/III/19 - 33cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker), shared @ home during my daughter's birthday party, BB: 18/XII/19 - (2019-397)
Clear pale blond to straw yellow beer, small irregular white head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: sweetish impression, bit malty, fruity, grains, artificial peach flavourings. No way on earth this peach character is only created by the use of aromatic US hops! It smells like peach flavoured candy... MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: lots of artificial peach flavourings, peach candy, malty. Aftertaste: little bitter, dry, soft fruity touch, slightly sweet. Way too artificial. Don't use chemicals like this, please!

Bottle. Copper coloured beer with a reasonable head. The aroma is fruity peach, and the flavour is peach with some hops and bitterness. Overall a nice interesting take on an IPA with the inclusion of peach.
