Pêche means peach in French, and the Floris Pêche does exactly what the name says. It is a Belgian witbier base carrying a sweet peach aroma, low bitterness, and a dessert-like finish at 3.6% ABV — a beer from Brouwerij Huyghe that sits within the Flemish fruit wheat tradition without complicating what it is. Belgium’s long history with fruit-added wheat beers gives this kind of product a context that other countries’ equivalents often lack: it is not an innovation, it is a continuation. If you are Belgian and living in Tokyo, the Floris Pêche is the bottle that suits the occasions where the serious Trappist range is not the right answer — warmer months, lighter moods, guests who would not otherwise order a beer.
Melle’s peach witbier, from a 1906 brewery
Brouwerij Huyghe was founded in 1906 in Melle, East Flanders, and has been family-run across multiple generations. The Floris range — the brewery’s fruit-and-flavour wheat beer line — takes a Belgian witbier as its base and adds individual fruit expressions across the range. The Pêche is one of the most approachable: pale gold, built on a soft wheat foundation, with sweet peach as the dominant flavour note and minimal bitterness throughout.
The style is a peach-flavoured Belgian wheat. The pour is pale gold, and the aroma announces the peach character before the glass reaches the table — sweet, ripe, distinct without being synthetic. The witbier base provides a slightly hazy body with the soft, lightly spiced character of a Belgian white beer, giving the peach flavour a backdrop with some texture rather than pure neutrality. The finish is dessert-like — sweet, rounded, short — which suits the 3.6% ABV and the beer’s intended position as something light and accessible. There is no bitterness to speak of, which makes it a beer that opens the door to people who find standard lagers too dry or Belgian strong ales too intense.
How Floris Pêche – Belgian white beer is drunk at home
Santé! / Op uw gezondheid! (sahn-TAY / op-uw geh-ZONT-hayt) — French and Flemish respectively, both meaning “to your health.” The French word for peach appearing in a Flemish brewery’s product name reflects Belgium’s comfortable coexistence of both languages at the same table.
In Belgium, the Floris Pêche belongs to the informal and social end of the drinking occasion. At a Sunday family lunch where beers move through multiple courses, it tends to appear early — alongside Belgian fries with mayonnaise when the table is filling up and the afternoon has not yet found its pace. Moules-frites is the pairing that accommodates it most naturally: the clean, briny mussels and the salted fries work alongside the sweet peach character without requiring the beer to do more than provide refreshment and fruit. Stoofvlees and the heavier Trappist beers belong to the later courses; the Pêche has typically done its work before those arrive. Belgian beer festivals, where the Floris range is represented alongside the abbey ales, give the Pêche an audience that encounters it in the spirit it was made for — sociable, outdoor, uncomplicated.
How to drink it in Japan
The Floris Pêche is the most summer-specific beer in Omori Mart’s Belgian range. June through August in Tokyo, when the heat sits and something cold and sweet is the most natural thing to reach for, is where it belongs. It is also the beer that travels best to the outdoor occasions of the Japanese summer — picnics, rooftop gatherings, the afternoons that collect around Belgian National Day on July 21.
At FamilyMart, try it alongside a peach jelly cup from the chilled dessert section — the fresh fruit flavour of the jelly and the sweet peach character of the beer occupy identical territory, the pairing working because it is essentially the same flavour approached from two different textures. For a more composed pairing at home, serve it with fresh fruit sorbet — white peach or yuzu — where the carbonation of the beer provides contrast to the dense sweetness of the sorbet and the fruit notes layer without cancelling each other. It is a pairing that suits an afternoon that has no particular agenda.
Japan’s affection for peach as a flavour — in drinks, sweets, and seasonal fruit — means the Floris Pêche lands in a market that already understands what it is offering. Belgian fruit wheat beers are not a category that Tokyo’s specialty import shops carry consistently, and when they do appear, the per-bottle cost reflects their scarcity. By the case from Omori Mart, the price is considerably more accessible.

Santé in Melle, where a brewery founded in 1906 eventually added peach to a witbier and named it in French, and kanpai at a Tokyo rooftop in July — pale gold, cold, and asking nothing more of the afternoon than the afternoon itself.
