Gorilla Mode Peach Slayer

Tap to rate

Dolcita and Luminosa hops drive a stone fruit profile the brewery describes as ripe peach, white peach, fuzzy peach candy and apricot, with nectarine, tangerine and mango behind. Mango juice and natural flavour are added. The body is full and plush, and the bitterness is deliberately kept low so the fruit carries the beer. Single 568 millilitre cans.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Gorilla Mode Peach Slayer

◎ Appearance

Bright golden-amber body with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent head that leaves delicate lacing down the glass. The color reflects a light crystal malt base, while the carbonation is visibly active and well-integrated, supporting the pillow-soft foam that crowns the pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright stone fruit—ripe peach and white peach dominate, complemented by nectarine and apricot. Behind the orchard fruit sits a tropical undercurrent of mango and tangerine. The Dolcita and Luminosa hops deliver these profiles cleanly, with a subtle candy sweetness that echoes the peach element without any aggressive resinousness.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with juicy peach and apricot, a full and plush mouthfeel that carries the fruit-forward character without feeling cloying. Mid-palate develops nectarine and tangerine notes, with mango juice adding a soft, rounded sweetness. Bitterness is restrained—present but deliberately subdued—allowing the hop fruit to remain the primary voice from entry through swallow.

◑ Finish

The finish fades gradually, trailing peach and apricot into a soft, juicy decay. No harsh bite or drying sensation; instead, the aftertaste lingers with a gentle fruit sweetness and a whisper of mango.

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.
