A New World Amber Ale with a balance of malt and hop character. Amber in colour, this ale is malty but remains drinkable with moderate palate weight and body allowing the sweet malt flavour to balance the hops without becoming too heavy. Magnum hops provide a firm bitterness to keep the malt in check and carry the aroma additions through the palate. Complex layered citrus and fruit salad hop aroma comes from hefty dry hopping with New Zealand Rakau and US Idaho Gem and Mosaic Hops.

More than a year ago, Colonial said they were reviewing their name after some controversy. There doesn't seem to be an outcome of this review and they haven't replied to my query after 10 days. I don't have a strong view about the controversy but dislike being fobbed off or bullshitted. So it's likely that this one will be my last Colonial beer. Can. Clear amber with an off white head. Aroma of toffee, some pine, mango skin, some grapefruit. Medium bodied. Drier than expected with toffee and bread not really getting in the way of the mainly tenor register fruity hops towards the moderately bitter finish. Pretty good.

(Can) Pours hazy dark amber with small off-white head. Nice aroma with hops to the front and notes of toffee and toast. Medium body and well carbonated. Full flavoured with plenty of malt and plenty of hops. Despite the toffee malt flavours there’s little sweetness. There’s plenty of hoppy bitterness. Pleasant enough.
