Tumut River Brewing Co Peaches & Cream

This seasonal from Tumut River might bear the tag "pale ale" and, indeed, it does present pale and there are some hops in the mix, but in essence the beer side of things (in the traditional sense, at least) is merely there as a launchpad for the stars of the show: peaches and cream (well, lactose).

Put the glass to your nose and you'd swear you were about to take a swig of freshly squeezed peach juice, while the lactose adds a little creamy sweetness without taking away from the peaches. The low hopping rate and a little malt sweetness make for an enjoyable, lower ABV take on dessert beers.
