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.

Aroma

Ripe stone fruit dominates immediately, with peach presenting as both fresh and gently dried. Supporting notes of tropical fruit and grapefruit emerge from the Citra and Mosaic hops, underpinned by a subtle lemon brightness and a faint hint of bready crust from the malt base.

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.
