Peach beer: a Belgian specialty or a global style?
The Belgian tradition of fruit beers has greatly influenced the genre: spontaneously fermented fruit lambics and gueuzes are the historical reference. An iconic example is the Gueuze by Brasserie Cantillon — the quintessential Gueuze, the result of the work of the brewers from Pajottenland. Modern craft peach beers, on the other hand, are widespread worldwide as light ales, wheat beers, or IPAs with added peach pulp or puree.
Peach IPA: where peach meets hops
Peach IPA is a popular trend, especially among NEIPAs. The typical approach: moderate bitterness, aromatic hops that complement peach (Citra, Mosaic, El Dorado), soft and hazy body to enhance the juicy sensation. The fruit is added in late fermentation to preserve fresh aromas.
