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

Cask thanks to Fergus at Craft Clerko. The aroma is sweet, juicy, very peachy, tinned peach, candy and mango... perhaps slightly artificial, . The taste is very sweet upfront, sweet tinned peach, apricot, oily, fruit cocktail and icing sugar with a drying finish. Medium body and soft. A bit sweet and artificial tasting. I wouldn’t order another.

Cask at the CBC Clerkenwell, at the thornbridge tap takeover. A mostly clear golden yellow coloured pour with a lasting thin white head. Aroma is big sweet, peach melba fruit, apricot jam, sweet. Flavour is composed of semi sweet pale malts, sweet fruits, tropical peach, apricot, juicy, yogurt. Palate is semi sweet, lowish cask condition. Ok for what it is.

Cask at CBC Clerko. Pours clear yellow with a foamy, white head. The nose has loads of peach, perhaps a touch artificial. Medium sweet flavor with ample gummy peach candies, low bitterness. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes with more sweet peach, faint hay and biscuit. A novelty.

Cask handpull at Craft Clerkenwell. Hazy gold colour lasting white head. Yes very peachy indeed. Aroma of timned peaches and flavour of tinnned peaches plus some drying hop. Decent if a touch one dimensional. 3.3/5 're rate Cask gravity at Firkin Alehouse Folkestone really good condition really well balanced fruit beer. showcases the peach flavourcso well. I loved it.

Cask at the Nags Head, Reading. A pale amber pour with a ring of white head; muted aroma of tinned peach; soft and dry in the mouth with a peachy taste, but again tinned rather than fresh, and a floury body with some sweet vanilla; then a gently bitter, fruity finish. All the Melba ingredients are there: peaches, ice cream, vanilla and raspberry, but overall it lacks intensity of flavour.

Cask at the Hanging Bat. Pours clear golden with a thick white head. Aromas of peach melba, pretty much as promised. Taste is floral, more peach. Peachy finish. Peach.

Tried on tap at the Lincoln Tap House. Golden colour with a thin white head. Aroma and taste have soft refreshing peach. Taste light sweet.
