Super hazy and murky copper, light straw and deep, yes, peach coloured body with a thinnish, one to two centimetre tall off-white head that fades quickly, but leaves a small lace on the sides of the glass. Aroma of peaches, of course, with more apricot and plum notes, but a good deal of sugar and wheated malt throughout, with some hop bitterness noticeable in the nose, but much more of the fruits. Medium to Full-bodied; Very strong peach and apricot flavours at first with a rich malt body and a lot of sugars here that makes this taste more like a fruit beer with a lot of rich malts and the hops with some very light bitterness only show at the very end. Aftertaste shows a lot of the rich malts again, but at the finished, they are balanced quite nicely with the pungent apricots and peach notes with again, only a light hit of bitterness from the hops. Overall, a quite nice beer that tastes much closer to a fruit beer that has reached Imperial Status due to the richness of the malts than an IPA altogether. Great to sample super fresh and local! I sampled this sixteen ounce pint-sized can purchased from Trader Joe's in Falls Church (Skyline), Virginia on 25-August-2022 for US$3,50, canned on 15-June-2022 and sampled in my hotel room here in Parsippany, New Jersey on 02-September-2022.

Bottle from Food Dog, drunk while grilling steak in Palmyra. Dark brown, small head, nutty sweet nose. Flavor is pretty sweet, hints of brown sugar, decent bitterness but it's more on the sweet side of balance. Moderate complexity.
