Keen Peach

Tap to rate

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

The finish is notably dry, with the bitterness and tropical hop persisting gently rather than fading abruptly. No syrup or residual sweetness lingers; instead, a crisp, refreshing quality carries the beer to closure.

Serve at 7–10°C

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

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.
