Four Loko Peach 24OZ

Four Loko Peach 24OZ is a flavored malt beverage sold in a 24oz can at approximately 12% ABV (varies by state). Among the brand's extensive flavor roster, Peach stands out for its intensely sweet, candy-forward profile that closely mirrors peach ring gummies while masking nearly all of the underlying malt character.

Quick Facts: ABV: ~12%  |  Origin: Chicago, Illinois, USA  |  Style: Flavored Malt Beverage  |  Producer: Phusion Projects (Drink Four Brewing Company)

Production & Heritage

Four Loko is produced by Phusion Projects, a Chicago-based company operating under the name Drink Four Brewing Company. The base liquid is a malt beverage brewed from fermented grains such as malted barley and corn, then blended with carbonated water, sugar, and natural and artificial flavorings — including FD&C Red 40 for color. The brand gained national notoriety in its original formulation that combined high-ABV malt liquor with caffeine, taurine, and guarana. After bans in several states, Four Loko was reformulated in December 2010, removing all stimulant ingredients. Today it is marketed strictly as a flavored malt beverage, not an energy drink.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: The nose is immediately intense and unmistakably artificial, recalling a heavily scented peach candle or peach-flavored candy. There is very little malt or grain character on the nose — the peach flavoring dominates completely.

Taste: The first sip delivers a rush of sugary peach nectar that lands squarely in candy territory — think melted peach rings or canned peach syrup served ice-cold. The sweetness is round and soft at mid-palate, and the 12% ABV malt base is almost entirely hidden beneath the bold fruit flavoring. There is no hop bitterness or discernible malt complexity to speak of.

Finish: The finish lingers with a fruity, syrupy sweetness that fades slowly. A faint warmth from the alcohol emerges at the very end, serving as the primary reminder that this is a double-digit ABV beverage.

How to Drink Four Loko Peach

Four Loko Peach is typically consumed straight from the can, well chilled or poured over ice to temper the sweetness and keep it cold throughout. Its intense sugar and fruit character also lend it to simple mixed drinks. A Peach Loko Slushie — blended with ice — amplifies the candy-like quality into a frozen treat. Mixed with lemonade in a Peach Palmer, it gains a tart counterbalance that cuts through the sweetness. Poured over frozen fruit in a Peach Punch Bowl, it works as a high-proof party-style sangria base.

Best For

• Casual outdoor gatherings and backyard cookouts where convenience matters
• Budget-conscious drinkers looking for high ABV per ounce
• Fans of aggressively sweet, candy-style flavored beverages
• Pregame or party settings where individual-serve formats are preferred

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Four Loko Peach taste like? Four Loko Peach delivers an intensely sweet peach candy flavor reminiscent of peach ring gummies and canned peach syrup, with the malt liquor base almost completely masked by the sugar and artificial peach flavoring.

How does Four Loko Peach compare to BeatBox? Both are high-ABV, sugar-forward flavored beverages aimed at a similar audience, but BeatBox is a wine-based product typically sold in carton-style packaging at around 11.1% ABV, while Four Loko Peach is malt-based at roughly 12% ABV in a single-serve 24oz can. Four Loko generally skews sweeter and more artificial in flavor profile compared to BeatBox's fruit punch style.

Is Four Loko Peach good for sipping? It is drinkable when very cold, though the extreme sweetness and high ABV make it a beverage best consumed slowly and deliberately — the alcohol content is easy to underestimate given how thoroughly the peach flavor hides it.

Where is Four Loko Peach made? Four Loko Peach is produced by Phusion Projects, operating as Drink Four Brewing Company, headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. The brand contracts its brewing and packaging operations across the United States.

What foods pair well with Four Loko Peach? Salty snacks like tortilla chips and queso work well by countering the sweetness. Spicy wings create a sweet-heat contrast that balances the sugar. Grilled barbecue chicken echoes the smoky-sweet dynamic. Fresh fruit like watermelon or mango slices complement the peach flavor without adding more sugar.

What sizes does Four Loko Peach come in? Four Loko Peach is primarily sold in the standard 23.5oz (commonly labeled 24oz) single-serve can, which is the brand's signature format.

Is Four Loko Peach worth the price? Four Loko Peach positions firmly in the budget tier of flavored malt beverages, delivering one of the highest ABV-per-dollar ratios available in the convenience store segment — it is designed for maximum impact at minimal cost rather than a refined drinking experience.

Why Four Loko Peach?

Four Loko Peach occupies a very specific niche: it is one of the strongest single-serve flavored malt beverages widely available in American convenience stores and gas stations. The reformulated recipe — stripped of caffeine, taurine, and guarana since 2010 — retains the brand's reputation for potency while shifting entirely into flavored malt territory. Among the brand's many varieties, Peach is consistently noted for how effectively it conceals its high alcohol content behind an almost dessert-like sweetness. For drinkers who prioritize bold fruit flavor, high ABV, portability, and an accessible price point, it remains a category staple.
