Atlanta Brewing Co. “Peachtree” Pale Ale
Imagine that, something from Atlanta named Peachtree! Now, I lived in ATL for a while, so I know a few things about that town, and one of them is that there is far too much Peachtree going on down there. Demerit #1, Atlanta Brewing Company. This beer had better be good. But, I jest (sorta) – this is the 2nd entry from our Beer of the Month Club shipment this week….
The Peachtree Pale pours a slightly hazy deep golden color with a sparse head. In the nose, this is full of light tangy malts – it’s actually reminiscent of a rye beer judging from the malt aromas. In the mouth, this is a pretty tasty pale ale. There are mostly malt flavors with just a hint of hop. Again, it’s an interesting malt – quite tangy. If someone handed this to me, I’d really thing it was a rye beer, as the malt is light and sweet up-front, and suddenly jumps into a tangy sharp flavor. Honestly, it’s an interesting and fairly complex pale ale. However, it could also serve well as a session beer. Full flavored and complex, but clean and crisp. Not bad at all, even if it is named Peachtree. Definitely buy this if you’re no longer finding your Sierra Nevadas interesting – it’ll provide an interesting divergence in the form of a tasty brew with some bite.
