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 from Oddbins. Slightly hazy golden colour with a big white head. Big citrus and pine hop aroma. Full mouth feel with some sweet malt flavour before citrus and floral hops and a very dry mouth-puckering finish. Very good.

330 ml bottle, now available in Norway (Vinmonopolet, bestillingsutvalget). Imported to Europe by Hamana Ltd. Herts, England. Bottle conditioned. ABV is 5.2%. Golden colour, nearly clear (just a faint haziness), rich head. Lovely hoppy aroma, notes of citrus and tropical fruits. The flavour is distinctly hoppy but not too bitter, citrus again, on a base of moderate but nice malty sweetness. A very nice pale ale!

Decent hoppy aroma, with perhaps a hint of yeast. Light coppery color with a white head that didn’t last. Starts with a fruity hop character, some citrus, maybe floral too. The flavor is refined, not harsh. The malt is present, but the bitter keeps it under control. Nice, long, pleasant, fruity, bitter finish.

330ml bottle at the Rake (London, 16.09.2006). Fruity summer taste. Fresh and inviting hoppy aroma. Very orange-fruity with moderate hops. White foam over a golden body. Medium level of carbonation. My first beer from down under came as a pleasant surprise!

(Bottle 33 cl) Slightly hazy amber golden with a small, white head. Very floral, hoppy nose with a touch of citrus. Rather light in body with a (bit too) heavy carbonation. Mainly dry, but comes with a discreet caramel sweetness. Fruity and fresh with notes of grapefruit. Dry, hoppy finish. A very refreshing brew. 081205
