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.

It’s nowt special but as bottled pales go it’s pretty tasty. Zesty and grassy with a decent hop kick and a slight sweetness to the aftertaste. Lovely.

Pours hazy orange colour with decent white head. Citrus aroma, I get the grapefruit. Just lacks a bit more finish. It’s pretty good, but let’s no go overboard just because the brewers write a good description.

Light golden, more grain than hops, not bitter by APA standards, but appropriate for British style

0,33 flaske på Cardinaltreff jan-15: herlig citronaroma og massevis av frisk mandarinsmak. Fin munnfølelse, men kort ettersmak. Mild bitterhet. Svært lett å helle innenfor snippen. Flaske (fra Waitrose, Finchley) delt med Steven hjemme hos ham: fortsatt like frIsk og god!

Bottle from Cambridge Wine Merchants, Mill Road. Dark amber, hazy. Scent of apricot/peach, grass and pine resin. The taste is straightforward and a fairly uniform bittersweet with a surprising malty hit. Fuller body than most pale ales of this ABV. Ok. Maybe I was expecting too much, but I felt that while this was an excellent beer in many ways, it didn’t have enough balance for me to rate it any higher.

Pint bottle into pint glass. Sharp citric nose. Hazy amber colour, solid creamy head, occasional tiny bubbles. Starts bitter, stays bitter. Beautiful finish, really nice. Not as eccentric as some pale ales & all the better for it. Excellent.
