Pairs Best With: King of Chefs and Chef of Kings
Introducing Will It Melba?, our latest foray into the world of pastry cream ales—a tribute to the flavors of the classic Peach Melba dessert, with a twist. At 10% ABV, this indulgent cream ale marries the essence of ripe peaches, vibrant raspberries, and rich vanilla, inviting both food lovers and craft beer enthusiasts to explore the interplay of dessert and drink in one glass.
Just as Escoffier perfected the harmony between poached peaches and tangy raspberry purée in his celebrated dessert, Will It Melba? captures that delicate balance in beer form. Each sip begins with the sun-soaked sweetness of ripe peach, softly rounded by the creamy body of the ale. The mid-palate brightens with a punch of raspberry’s tartness, cutting through the sweetness with a lively, mouth-puckering edge. Finally, the smooth, comforting richness of vanilla, gives it that unmistakable pastry finish—a nod to the vanilla ice cream traditionally served in the original dessert.
