A New England – Australia Pale Ale a using a high proportion of wheat and oats in the grist to add body and aid haze formation. Low bitterness to accentuate a soft mouthfeel and heavily dry-hopped with a blend of dank and juicy Australian hops imparting tropical fruit aromas, and filled with passion fruit, mango and orange flavour. Fermented with our house yeast WLP066 for maximum aroma and a slightly sweet finish, it’s a perfectly balanced, smooth and tasty little number.

Draft. A hazy amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of over ripe fruits, hops, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of citrus fruit, hops, malt, and caranel, leading to a bitter finish.
