This premium hand~crafted ale is a unique brew of three malts and three Tasmanian hops added late to the kettle plus an original 125 year old, top fermenting ale yeast, creating an easy~drinking, deep copper~coloured ale with distinct richness, creamy head, and a slightly nutty finish.

(Bottle 34,5 cl) Dark, amber colour. Filtered. Huge, frothy, beige head. Dry, nutty aroma with some malt-sweetness and a discreet bitterness from no less than three different Tasmanian hops. Very nice amber ale. Thanks to Pia for bringing me this from Sydney. 240205

Bright deep amber coloured body with a frothy, albeit fast-dying off-white head. Aroma of nuts, toasted malt, caramelised sugars and a slight touch of fresh hops. Medium-bodied; Malty throughout the mouthful, with some of the nuts and sugars leaking through. Aftertaste showcases that bitter nut flavour more than anything else with a distinct malty taste near the tail end. Overall, a good amber (not my favourite style) and very welcome, compared with most of the other aussies. I sampled this from a 12 ounce bottle in Sydney, Australia.
