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.

330ml bottle. Pours orange. Mango, pineapple, caramel, little biscuit. Light bitterness, light hop notes, light malt base. A product of its environment perhaps, as it is very easy to drink in intense heat, but it's pretty boring.

Beim Kauf dieses Bieres im Fachmarkt wurde mir gesagt, dass dies das Standardbier von Westaustralien ist, wobei nach anfänglicher Skepsis der Qualität des Bieres dann doch die Neugierde überwog. Auf dem Etikett steht, dass es von einer kleinen Brauerei von drei Kumpels gebraut wird, die sich natürlich in die Craftbier-Ecke stellen. Schlussendlich merkte ich beim Verkosten dass es sich um ein solides angenehmes Pale Ale ist, bei dem eher die Malzigkeit gegenüber der Hopfenbittere überwiegt. Ein Bier das voll in Ordnung ist, aber auch nichts besonderes.

Bottle at home from Waitrose. Tasty and fresh pale ale which was quite bitter but still very enjoyable. Open to trying again on warm day. (8/2/17). --- Keg at Lady Bay, Warrnambool. Not much going on in the aroma. Plain looking. Slightly English style pale ale. It is easy and pleasant enough but rather boring. 3.5 to 3.
