You most likely know Leinenkugel’s finest from their Summer season or Grapefruit Shandy, fruited wheat beers that appear to seek out their means onto each boat, seaside, and yard barbecue this time of 12 months. For 2023, Leinie is including to their portfolio with one other fruit-inspired and extremely sessionable brew, Juicy Peach. Regardless of its summery demeanor, this new beer shall be a year-round providing from the Wisconsin brewery. It’s additionally a sour-style brew, their first from what I can inform. And the way do they get the peach in there? We’re instructed “pure flavors” identical to the brewery’s many different fruited choices. Let’s pop the highest and see the way it stacks up.
The beer pours a pale gold colour, virtually nectarine (if we’re conserving with the stone fruit theme). The aroma is unquestionably peachy with large, candy notes of yellow peaches in syrup and sugary Haribo peach candies. There’s a delicate tartness beneath all of it, however nothing screams conventional bitter on the nostril. The palate is light-bodied and contemporary, and likewise fairly dialed down on the bitter entrance. And the peach entrance, for that matter. Notes of white peach and peach skins give solely a touch of sweetness. Crisp malt notes rapidly steal the present earlier than a light tartness and beneficiant salinity arrive on the end. No large, candy shandy profile right here, however it’s not precisely a standard bitter both. And I actually don’t get something overly juicy, besides possibly within the aroma. All that stated, it’s an approachable and refreshing brew, gentle sufficient for session consuming and fascinating sufficient to attraction to a large spectrum of beer drinkers.
