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

Tap East. Cask. Almost clear gold beer, tiny pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth and semi dry and light. Mild fine carbonation. The pale malts bring light cream. Decent and semi sweet peach. Trace of raspberry syrup. Light semi dry finish. Nicely fruity but should there not be some hops in a (proclaimed) IPA?

Keg at Craft 100 Clapham, Good Friday 3rd April 2015 Wonderfully clear golden beer, white filmy head. A little mushy peach, sadly it’s a little safe, the Siren ’Lifes a Peach’ set a very high benchmark. It could do with being a bit more summery but to be fair being consumed alongside Kernel Raspberry it was always an interesting comparison. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov12 3.1

On cask at Coach and Horses, Dronfield - Gutted I missed this first time round, so was chuffed to get one of the first pulls this year. Very fragrant peach nose, lots of floral aroma. Taste is dry, peach again at the fore, not as sweet as I’d feared, and a little bitter on the way out too. Mouthfeel had a gentle carbonation, making it a good all-round crowdpleaser.

Half, cask at Mr. Foley’s Cask Ale House. White layer at the top of a clear golden coloured body. Spotty lacing down the glassware. Fruit hoppy aroma joined by a touch of wheat. Malt-fruity flavours of mild caramel and fresh nectarine. Bittersweet fruity tail. Medium bodied. Satisfying and thirst quenching (Leeds 01.07.2013).
