The beer that inspired this crazy journey, ours is a hop driven Pale Ale bursting with flavour and aroma. Full-bodied yet refreshing, the bitter finish will leave your tastebuds craving more.
We were born to make Pale Ale, a style that was little known in Australia when we started, but is now much loved. Back in the day there were two hop varieties coming out of the North West of the US that really took our fancy; Cascade and Chinook hops. These hops packed an addictive punch and gave rise to the super hoppy American Pale Ale, a style that inspired us back then and still inspires us today.
Since day one, we have brewed our Pale using whole hop cones, sourced straight from the US directly to our breweries (something pretty unique) and use our hop back to extract those beautiful, hoppy aromas and delicate bitterness. Preservative and additive free, our Pale Ale is live yeast conditioned, in the bottle (after filling) for unmatched freshness and character and takes about six weeks from brewing to be released.

BBE 25 Jul 2013 - Pours clear copper orange with a small white head. Aroma of floral hops, grass, hints of caramel. Taste is sweetish, malty and biscuity with notes of caramel, hints of aged hops. Finish is crisp, biscuity and slightly fruity with hints of caramel. Feels a bit unbalanced and not very fresh.

330ml bottle. Clear dark orangey golden colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, moderately lacing, white head. Hoppy aroma with cautious hints of resin and pine, caramel malty background. Taste is dry hoppy, a touch of grass and hay, minimally fruity, hints of orange and citrus. Clean, fully integrated, but slightly narrow and unexciting.

330ml bottle. Golden amber colour, bubbly white head that diminishes and aroma of biscuit malt with a citrus note. Taste is caramel malt with grapefruit citrus, and a warming lingering grassy & piney bitterness. Light bodied and medium carbonation. Quite drinkable.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Beer Market. Thanks kerenmk. Hazy orange. Aroma of hops, a bit skunky, with some weed, pine, tropical fruits and citric notes. Sweetish and slightly bready flavor, finishes with bitter fruity and piney hops. Medium-bodied. Refreshing.

Bottle thanks to Kaitlin. Pours a near clear gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a combo of light sweet grain and grass with a hint of resin. Flavor starts light sweet grains with backing light pine and grassy hops.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines, Birmingham. Poured a cloudy orange amber with a thin white head and some broken lace. The aroma is of hops with grapefruit notes. The flavour is bitter, malty and hoppy, but not as hoppy as expected. It’s certainly a very drinkable and refreshing beer, but not as flavourful as many other pale ales I’ve tasted.

Bottle at home in London. Pours clear, vibrant gold with a small, white foam head. Crackery pale malt nose, some straw, ripening orange. Light to medium sweet flavor, some bready pale malts, bit more straw, some orange, faint honey. Light to medium bodied with average, smooth carbonation. Very mellow pine and straw finish, some semi-sweet bread, some more lightly toasted straw. Very, very drinkable stuff. Not overly bitter, and well balanced.
