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 6/7/2020. Pours a deep brown with a small head. The nose features chocolate and some light smoke. Tastes of chocolate, smokey bacon with a real campfire element to it. Finishes with a medium roasty bitterness. The mouthfeel is silky, the carbonation average. Very solid and enjoyable.

From a 375ml can on 3/6/2020. Pours a clear medium golden with a small head, and some yeast floaties. Not very NEIPA like in appearance at all! The nose is sharp, floral and fruity. There's lots of quite intense sweetness up front - an usual combination of apple and stone fruit - with quite a sharp vinous bitterness at the back. The mouthfeel is syrupy and quite rich, the carbonation average. Unusual and reasonably interesting but doesn't quite come together.

(Can) Pours cloudy straw with tiny loose white head. Nice aroma of pine, pineapple and citrus, with peppery notes. Medium body with excellent carbonation. Great tasting beer with excellent balance. Starts off nice refreshing very fruity with some peppery notes. There’s some subtle light malt sweetness somewhere in the background. Then the hoppy bitterness builds into a long finish. Maybe a hint of the alcohol in that finish too. Very impressive.

(Can) Pours very dark brown with red highlights. Decent pale tan head. Nice aroma - dark roast malt, with notes of chocolate, herbs and grass. Medium body with good fine, smooth and bright carbonation. Unusual, interesting and pleasant taste. There’s a combination of chocolate, dark toffee, herbs, grass with hints of burnt sugar. It’s surprisingly well balanced. The unusual flavours made me want another taste.

From a 375ml can on 3/5/2020 (shared by Butz with thanks). Pours a clear deep pinky red. with a tiny head which disappears very quickly. Has a very light berry aroma. The flavour is blueberry, raspberry and cherry - reasonable sweet upfront but very tart and sharp at the back. the mouthfeel is a touch syrupy and the carbonation spritzy. Sours are not my thing but this pretty good - quite refreshing and well balanced.

From a 375ml can on 3/5/2020. Pours a cloudy light to medium golden with the barest of heads. The nose is super strong and all mango. Not surprisingly mango dominates taste wise, it's powerful but just lacking a touch of sweetness for mine. Finishes with a sharpish, spicy bitterness. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Well made, but just needs a bit more mango sweetness.

Not a new brewery, then. Can. Moderately cloudy orange with a loose white head. Fruity aroma with passionfruit, light citrus pudding, some spices. Light bodied. Sweet and fruity without much malt character. Moderate bitterness but doesn't really lean towards dry at the end. OK. Perhaps Stone & Wood's original and those derived from it work better in hot weather.
