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.

Bottle. Clear golden with some white head. Lovely aroma - flowery and lemony. Light body and good carbonation. Refreshing light foretaste with lovely fruity (lychee, apricot, citrus) notes over some subtle maltiness. This leads to an good bitter finish. An excellent beer.

Bottle brought from the antipodes by Jim, thanks mate! Amber, low white head. Pine needle and orangepeel hop aroma. Fruity entry - tropical and apples, light hayish and grassy middle eading to the big dry hop finish. Light yet chewy body. Resins retronasal. Lingering grassy and pine notes. Very nice hoppy yet well-balanced pale ale.

Medium offwhite head does not last. Hazy orange body. Powerful tropical fruit hop and malts aroma with excellent harmony and balance. Goes more medicinal later, unfortunately. Dry-and-sweet medicinal malty taste with powerful tropical fruit background. Sharpish, mealy mouthfeel. A bit thin-bodied. Bitter medicinal malt and chalk aftertaste lingers. Nice! Probably even better fresh. (0.33l bottle from the wine monopoly. BBD Oct ’08.)

Bottle. Vinmonopolet started selling this one last fall. A good choice it seems. It pours a slighlty hayz, but mostly clear, orange body, well carbonated, leaving a small, lasting off-white head. Citrus, mostly grapefruit dominates the aroma. There’s also pine and resin, and a maltyness hiding in the background. It has a hop dominated flavor too, leaving room for some sweet maltyness, but it’s most of all a hoppy beer, with citrus and resin running the show. It’s not very bitter. I could wish for a fuller body, it feels a bit watery, but it’s not thin enough for that. Long, citrusy, piney bitterness finish the beer. A dangerously drinkable beer, refreshing even though it’s quite sweet, and sure pleasing. I’m more content now :-) (080206)
