Description
Hope Brewery opened in 2014, and kicked off their range with a whole lot of hoppy ales, distinctively recognisable by their black cans and amp design - a homage to Hope's love of music. Since then they've been satisfying a desire for new beers and new styles including NEIPAs, sours, trophy-winning stouts and even Australia's strongest IPA.

From a 375ml can on 10/1/2017. Pours a slightly hazy golden with a small head. Has a very pleasant tropical and stone fruit aroma, particularly passionfruit and lychee. Sweet and fruity in the mouth - lots of peach, apricot, more passionfruit, mango and melon, finished off by a modest bitterness. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Delicious, well balanced, and super easy drinking. I shall be partaking in more of this.

On tap at Harts Pub, Sydney. Pours hazy straw with minimal off white head. Aroma: yeast, bread, light citrus, bubblegum. Taste: light sweet, dough, light citrus, hints of banana & clove. Light bodied, little carb, sweetish finish. A little underwhelming

Pint on tap at Local Taphouse, Sydney. Hazy, peach-coloured beer with light carbonation. Thin white head. Slight sour fruit nose. Zingy, yeasty, more malt than fruit. Raspberry only slightly evident in the finish. Nice but a bit lightweight.

Australia Day Beer #4. 375ml can into pint glass. Nose is malt at first then citric. Nice. Hazy golden amber with solid white head. Some patchy lacing. Many many fine bubbles. Light body, cleansing bitter lemon taste. Finish is hoppy, minty, lingering. No world-beater but solid.

From a 375ml can on 16/1/2017. pours a dark brion with a medium head. The nose features a combination of chocolate malt and fruity hops. In the mouth, there’s oodles of chocolate and some hints of caramel, some sweet stone fruit, with some satisfying bitter, resiny hops finishing things off. Medium bodied with average carbonation. True to style and very well made.

From a 375ml can on 14/12/2016. Pours a hazy golden with bugger all head. The aroma features some light citrus fruit, biscuit and toast. Flavour wise, there’s bready and biscuity malt, and lots of sweet citrus and stone fruit (orange, apricot, peach). The hops are pretty big and quite resiny, and compliment the sweetness quite nicely. The texture is a touch syrupy and the carbonation quite soft. It presents as a big beer but is still easy enough to drink. An enjoyable DIPA.

(On tap) Clear amber with good white head. Very nice fruity aroma. Light body, well carbonated. Taste has hops from start to finish - tangy fruity notes to start developing a nice crisp bitterness through the palate with a good finish. Subtle biscuity malt underpinning. Very good.

(On tap) Dark brown / black with small dense off-white head. Subtle aroma - unmistakably stout. Light body, light carbonation. Taste has bitter dark chocolate with coffee hints. It’s quite dry and perhaps a little thin. Overall, a nice, easy drinking stout.
