Four Peaks Arizona Peach

Brewed by Four Peaks Brewing Company
Style: Fruit Beer
Tempe, Arizona USA

Light gold, small head. Big peach aroma. More body than the wheat...significant peach in taste and aroma. Not a lot of body...light, refreshing. On tap at brewery.

Growler, via BA tayner. Pours a slightly hazy yellow gold with a nice one finger fizzy bright white head that slowly receded to a thin film. The nose is fresh ripe peaches at the height of the season, backed by some bready and doughy malt. The flavor was really pretty nice up front, like fresh juicy peaches or those peach ring gummi candies. Towards the finish though the peach flavor tasted like over-ripe peaches, kind of like the deeply bruised spots you get with peaches that are nearing the end of their shelf life. Bready and doughy malt with light fluffy yeast provide the base. Mouthfeel is light bodied with pleasant fizzy carbonation and a slight lingering sweetness. Overall, I thought that this was pretty decent, the peaches tasted pretty natural.

I like this beer very much, tipping to the lighter end of the spectrum myself. The nose is healthy and full of peach - much what you’d expect from a brew roughly the color of peach juice. A great peach flavor in mid-palatte, ending with a slightly jarring bit of hoppiness. Seems like it could benefit from a higher percentage to keep it at least tangy instead of slightly bitter.

Had this at the brewpub a while back and forgot to rate... General concensus was that it tasted like peach soda with a little bit of beer flavor thrown in. But it did taste good.

Draft - big peachy nose. Clear gold with a white head. Very light-bodied. Flavor dominated by peach. Very refreshing. Good for what it is.

Draft at Tempe location. Pours a golden color with minimal head. Aroma is of pale malt, lightly sweet, and lightly peachy. Flavor is pretty over the top canned peach flavored with little regular beer flavor there. It’s not fake peach flavor and that means a lot I guess. I expected a refreshing light peachy wheat style beer and this came at me more heavy in body with less carbonation and more peachy than expected. If it had a lighter body I might have enjoyed it more I guess. My fault.

tap in tempe...light golden color, no head. aromas of cooked canned peaches and honey. flavor is the same with some wheat thrown in. the peach isn’t over done or sticky and seems to be an element of the beer rather than a dominate trait. nice tasty change and perfect for the heat....

Had a taste and it was a drinkable but basically was a light beer with a bit of fruit in it. It wasn’t bad tasting and works for someone who likes light beer.
