Peach juice into keg of IPA.. good or bad idea?

I don't like a sweet beer by any means, but I'm thinking a bit of peach juice into a keg of dry (say 1.005 FG) IPA might be good? If I keep it chilled the whole time, I likely won't get the leftover yeast doing much eating of the peach juice I assume?
Thoughts?

It certainly could work.
I think you should pour a few samples of IPA and add a different measured amount of peach juice to each (and leave one alone). See which one you like best and then you'll know whether the peach juice tastes good and at what ratio.
I don't think you'll have refermentation problems if it is kept cold but I wouldn't let it sit for too long.

I've done it with pineapple and grapefruit juice without issue. Both beers turned out great

I had a commercial white ipa that had pear juice and it was awesome. I assume peach would similar.
