The Warrior with Peach Rings

◎ Aussehen

Pale golden with a soft haze throughout the body, displaying the characteristic cloudiness of the style. A pillowy white head forms quickly and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. Bright carbonation rises steadily, giving the beer an inviting, lively visual presence.

◌ Aroma

Stone fruit dominates immediately, with ripe peach leading the charge alongside subtle stone and pit aromas. Nelson, Nectaron, and Motueka hops layer in tropical and citrus notes—lime zest and a whisper of passionfruit—while a soft, grainy malt backbone keeps the nose grounded and approachable. The adjunct peach rings amplify rather than overpower, creating a unified fruit-forward impression.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with bright peach sweetness that transitions into a layered hop profile: citrus pith, herbal florals, and a gentle tropical warmth. Moderate bitterness arrives in the mid-palate (50 IBU) as a supporting structure rather than a dominant force, allowing the fruit adjunct and hop character to remain the focal point. The mouthfeel is creamy yet refreshing, with enough body to feel substantial without heaviness.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with peach and citrus notes lingering gently on the palate. The 8.5% ABV sits just beneath the surface, warming without asserting itself, and the beer fades into a pleasant, refreshing aftertaste.
