Buck's Peach

United Kingdom·Fruit Wheat Ale
Tap to rate

A wheat pale ale with peach and orange, fermented with a neutral ale yeast and dry hopped with Citra and Mosaic. The brewery calls it fruity, light and piney and stresses that it shows none of the banana and clove of a Bavarian wheat beer. Peach, orange and hoppy are the keywords. It was first brewed in 2019 at a higher strength; the edition released in autumn 2026 has 4.3%.

◌ Aroma

Peach and orange lead the nose, with citrus notes from the Citra and Mosaic dry hopping providing a piney, herbal backdrop.

Hoppy florals and stone fruit aromas dominate, creating an inviting, refreshing opening.

◐ Taste

Entry is light and crisp with the peach and orange character translating well from nose to palate. Mid-palate shows restrained malt sweetness balanced by the hoppy, citric bite of Citra and Mosaic. Bitterness remains low at 12 IBU, allowing fruit and hop character to play freely without aggressive bite or harsh finish.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and relatively brief, with peach and orange notes fading into a dry, slightly piney aftertaste. The low ABV and modest IBU allow the fruit character to linger gently without warming or astringency.
