Bottle from Price Chopper. Clear yellow, medium body. Once it warms up enough, the beer has a faint blueberry finish after a very ordinary malt taste.

So, here it is; another IPA but' is has peach in it? Real peach or just juices of peach, who knows? Has a slightly apricot nose but its laced with a sweet IPA olfactory. I'm thinking this is not as bitter as most IPA or, is the peachy thing covering it up? Just asking. Yea, its bitter but it never rises to the level of real IPA, its just an APA in disguise. Seriously, its not as bitter as I thot, and this actually makes it more like a slightly fruited APA, and I like that. IPA are a dime a dozen and they are so ubiquitous, and they all practically taste the same. Nuances? The difference between more or less bitter? IDK. But this stuff? Not bad. Thank you saranac.
