Our brewers have used the finest seasonal ingredients to lovingly craft an ale that offers an intriguing balance of flavours within a unique, and very special flavour profile. Dry-hopped with Mosaic hops, this red Ale has complex aromas and flavour of tropical and stone fruit, underlined with pine and citrus hop notes and as with all of our Ales, there are no additives and no preservatives. Compass malt is used with the barley sourced from the Murray Mallee region of South Australia.

The flavour is moderate sweet with a rich, grainy toffee caramel malt, warm alcohol, fruity, light floral hop bitter palate and a lingering alcohol bitter finish.

Vintage 2015. Strong vinous nose. Hazy medium amber colour, small frothy off-white head, mostly diminishing. Aroma roasted malts, caramel, nutty notes, raisins. Flavour is medium to light heavy sweet and light to medium bitter, malty, caramel, spicy notes, quite woody. Malty sweetbitter aftertaste, roasty, woody and spicy notes, bit boozy. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation, nice but still too young, has quite some potential...
