High-gravity golden ale with peaches and milk sugar
A classic from our storied 2007 Imperial Beer Series, Peaches and Cream is a real Joe Short original, showcasing his desire to push the boundaries of what beer could be in a time when “dessert beers” weren’t actually a thing. There is a wacky amount of fresh peach and milk sugar in this brew, and boy howdy does it taste like dessert in a glass. You’ll be pleased as a peach with this treat.

Cloudy amber with a bubbly off-white head., Aroma is strong peaches, a natural and fresh peach aroma, not candy. Some soft caramel, and maybe even cream in the background. Very sweet, with a little tart peach note, and again some caramel. The finish is fruit and licorice mix. It’s a bit of a mess of flavours with tart fruit, caramel and licorice, and it’s cloying sweet, but I have to respect the very impressive strength and quality of the peach aroma.
