Throwback IPA may be mid-strength, but it’s certainly no shrinking violet. Wielding a broad malt profile and a generous whack of hops, this expertly crafted session IPA continues to satisfy beer drinkers the world over. From Port Adelaide to Penang, there’s nothing quite like a Throwy…
The nose shows lifted notes of citrus and pine, with an underlying sappy, resinous quality. Its dank and slightly herbaceous. On the palate, oven baked biscuit and toffee malt develops quickly in to bright and juicy citrus. Grapefruit and lemon present well, pairing with a vibrant, sherbet like texture. The finish is fresh, with a pleasant lingering bitterness and a hint of spice.

Can. Hazy gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is light, semi dry and minerally crisp. Thin malts, mildly sweet. Cooling pine. Little orange peel. Modest hop spice. Tangerine before a crisp finish. Inevitably thin but crisp and hoppy.

Can. Bier Huis, Ossett. Orange gold. Light haze. Frothy, pale cream coloured head that recedes to a film. Nose has fairly bright, ripe citrus. Some melon and nectarine. Background of chewy toffee. Taste is light, citrus pith bitterness. A touch mineraly and metallic. Light body. Dries out a little. Pithy bitter finish. Packs it in well for the ABV.

On tap at Hart's Pub, pours a hazy copper with a small white head. Aroma brings out gentle piney hops upfront, with just enough biscuity malt to back. Flavour is a more laid back one for an IPA, with gentle piney hops and crisp crackery malt to back that's fairly prominent. Dry and crisp, with a slightly piney finish. Very good.

Sample from can at the rake. Aroma is is nice mixed tropical fruit, orange rind, light bready grains. Light golden coloured pour with a lasting thin white head. Flavour is composed of pale grains, white bread, solid tropical fruit, grassy citrus orange. Very well balanced. Good clean ferment. Palate is frothy, semi drying finish. Very good session.
