Always Hazy Peach

Tap to rate

Always Hazy Peach is a soft, hazy IPA brewed with peaches and dry-hopped with Citra, Mosaic and Centennial, sold as a Saranac seasonal. Ripe peach dominates the nose, somewhere between fresh fruit and dried peach, joined by tropical fruit, grapefruit and a light lemon note from the hops. A moderate bitterness and a faint bread crust note round off the smooth, medium-light body.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with soft, fruity sweetness that echoes the peach character on the nose. Mid-palate reveals a moderate, clean bitterness balanced by the beer's smooth, medium-light body. A light bready note surfaces alongside lingering citrus, creating a layered finish without harshness.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
