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.

Bottle 33cl. Reddish beer with beige head. Aroma: caramel, brown sugar, alcohol, toasted malts; some frutal hints are also present. Taste is malted, fruity, sweet, bitter almond. Palate is bittery, with moderate carbonation and body and a bittersweet aftertaste.

Cloudy amber color; generous head, compact. Aroma of caramel and sugar, lightly soapy. Ordinary body strength; it has caramel flavor, and unfortunately also a metallic touch, that makes the final a bit harsh; a high yeast presence also makes it a bit astringent; there are also traces of sweet liquorice and vegetables. Nothing spectacular here.

The label says "Extra Strong," not "Extra Good." Pours dark opaque amber but the head fizzles and leaves with utmost haste. Smells very nutty and yeasty, very English, actually, nothing great but curious. Starts dry and metallic before the malts bring along a boozy sweetness. Veers into English Brown Ale territory for a while, nutty and laced with dried apples, before fading into a doughy, fairly warm finish. Decent, but excessively hot for an under 8% brew. (5/4/09)
