Very often when i'm shopping for beer, either at the grocery store, or a corner store, or liquor store, or just a place that specializes in craft brews, i'll encounter a brewery rep giving out samples of their wares. This is always a good thing, and every so often, i'll be swayed to take some home with me. Such was the case on Saturday at
Hamricks Market in Cedar Park, Texas, when i was won over by the Kentucky Peach Barrel Wheat Ale from
Alltech Lexington Brewing, a delicious wheat beer brewed with peaches and then aged in bourbon barrels. Pouring a crisp golden hue with a white and bubbly head, the beer certainly lives up to its namesake, the peach aromas being at the forefront, along with some hints of bread, spice, and bourbon. The flavor is very similar to the smell, an earthy mix of bread, peach, oak, and bourbon...and somehow it works. And it proved to be a lovely 8% ABV libation to wind down with on a Saturday night.
Visit the
brewer.
