🌍 Canada · Pale Ale · One of 128 Pale Ales in hopIQ

A pale ale infused with apricot and peach purée and dry-hopped with Dolcita. The pour is hazy apricot orange. Ripe peach dominates the aroma with apricot skin behind it and a light tropical lift from the hop. The malt is a thin cracker base, hop bitterness is minimal, and the finish stays dry rather than syrupy despite the fruit load.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Keen Peach

Appearance

The beer pours a hazy apricot-orange, with suspended yeast and fruit solids creating a soft, opaque body. The head is moderate and shows reasonable retention, with a delicate lacing that clings to the glass as you drink. Carbonation appears gentle, appropriate to the fruit-forward character.

Aroma

Ripe peach leads the bouquet with immediate intensity, supported by apricot skin notes that add gentle tartness. Behind the stone fruit sits a light tropical lift from the Dolcita dry-hop, suggesting subtle citrus and herbal undertones without dominating the profile.

Taste

The palate opens clean and crisp, with peach purée providing the dominant flavor note. The malt base is thin and cracker-like, letting the fruit expression take center stage while the Dolcita hop adds a measured bitterness and citrus character. The body is light and refreshing, with minimal sweetness despite the fruit load.

Finish

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Keen Peach

Serve at 7–10°C
Refrigerate, then rest 2 min

Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.

Pint glass
Recommended for this style

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
