Poured a bright firey hazy orange with a nice white head. Aroma offered some fresh peach juices, some citrus and grassy hops, and some sweet bready malt. Flavor offer some grassy and citric hops, some fresh peach juices giving off some nice sweetness to this thing, and a little bready malt. The peaches didn't quite naturally blend in with the base beer so much as it tasted like they mixed in some fresh peach juices to an already established IPA base. A medium bodied, creamy mouthfeel. Overall, a very refreshing and tasty beer.

On cask at Odell itself. I shall also admit that I received one of the last pours, as the cask blew just minutes later. On to the beer:

Its cloudy appearance gives the beer a tanned color with a long lasting head and wonderful lacing. The aroma is a solid mix of sweet peaches and hops. I would hope so, given this is named "Peach IPA". What smells fine works a little different in the taste. The sweet and hopy mixture takes some time getting used to. It tastes like somebody blended some hop juice with peach juice, which is fine if the two work. And in this case it just does. Medium bodied, smooth, and creamy, this is decent experimental IPA.
