The details
This is a new recipe kit built around ripe peach and Belgian abbey character. It brews a deep golden Belgian-style pale ale with juicy peach fruit, spicy yeast esters and a floral hop lift, finishing sweet with a light tartness. A fun, fruit-forward brew that is something different from the usual pale ale.
What it is like to brew
Brew day is straightforward malt extract brewing. The character builds during fermentation, where the Belgian Abbey yeast adds spicy esters and the Amarillo hops bring a floral, stone-fruit aroma. You control the strength with your batch size: 18 litres for a fuller 4.9 to 5.1% beer, or 20 litres for a lighter, more sessionable 4.4 to 4.6%.
Why this kit works
- Belgian Abbey yeast for spicy, fruity ester character
- Amarillo hops for floral, peachy stone-fruit aroma
- Adjustable strength from one kit (18 to 20 litre batch)
- Approachable, fruit-forward and different from a standard pale ale
When it makes sense
A good option when you want a fruity, summery beer with a Belgian twist. Approachable enough for a confident beginner, with enough character to keep an experienced brewer interested.

Hamish's verdict
Decide your strength before brew day. Top up to 20 litres for an easy, fruity sessionable beer, or hold it at 18 litres for more body and peach intensity. If you want to push the peach further, a natural peach addition late in fermentation lifts it nicely.

Is this a sour beer?
No. Despite the lambic reference, it brews as an approachable Belgian-style pale ale with peachy fruit and spicy abbey yeast esters. It finishes sweet and fruit forward with only a light tartness, not a true sour or wild fermentation.
Where does the peach flavour come from?
The peach character comes through from the fruit-forward Amarillo hops working with the Belgian Abbey yeast esters. If you want to push it further, a natural peach addition late in fermentation lifts the fruit even more.
How much beer does this kit make and how strong is it?
It makes an 18 to 20 litre batch depending on how you top up. A tighter 18 litres gives a fuller 4.9 to 5.1% beer, while topping up to 20 litres gives a lighter, more sessionable 4.4 to 4.6%.
What makes a Belgian beer taste the way it does?
Most of the character comes from the Belgian yeast rather than the hops. Fermented warm, Belgian ale and abbey yeasts throw fruity esters such as banana, pear and stone fruit, along with spicy phenols like clove and pepper. It is the defining feature of the style.
Do I need temperature control to brew this?
No, and warmer Australian conditions actually suit it. Belgian ale and abbey yeasts ferment well at room temperature, and the warmth helps develop the fruity, spicy yeast character. Just avoid going above the listed range, which can push harsh fusel alcohols.
What equipment do I need to brew this kit?
A fermenter with lid and airlock, a no-rinse sanitiser, a thermometer, a hydrometer, and bottles or a keg for packaging. Our starter equipment kits include everything you need.
