This is the beer that started it all. Craft beer in Australia has come a long way since we first brewed this English amber ale in the mid-90s, but Hightail Ale is a classic for a reason. With a rich and complex malt backbone, and a delicately hoppy finish, this flavour bomb still packs a punch.

Bottle at Taps. Beer Bar, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a clear reddish brown with a broken white head. The aroma is malty with a hint of toffee. The flavour is medium to weak bitter with a metallic edge and some smooth maltiness on the palate. It’s not a bad beer, but not as good as the commercial description would have you believe!
