There’s a hint of the Pacific Ale about this one, with pleasant tropical fruit aromas but a more significant hop presence in the mouth. The only critcism is that the malt is a little mild for a Golden Ale and the palate a little thin. Very nice Summer ale.

Bottled at Mrs Parmas, Melbourne, Victoria. Hazy golden, mid sized head. Grapefruit aroma. Fairly sweet with medium body and rounded mouthfeel. Some sugar and vegetables, rip fruits and grapefruit. Mid bitter finish with some resin. Like an odd mix of IPA and grape tonic.

Chris from Masterchef really has come a long way. He’s making cracking beers, this little beauty included. You can smell the zythos hops coming through the otherwise strong grapefruit aromas. There’s also candied lemon, grapefruit and some and some great earthy aromas to boot. The taste is refreshing and hides its 6% alcohol dangerously well. Nice one, Chris.

From a 330ml bottle on 28/12/2013. Pours a cloudy, dark reddy amber with a biggish head. The aroma features lots of toasty, toffee malt and a some fruity notes. For a mid-strength this is remarkably flavoursome, with lots of sweet malt (toast, toffee, bread), mandarin, cherries and strawberries, set off against some moderate hops. The body is medium and the carbonation lively. This is remarkably tasty given the ABV. Boneyard are turning out some seriously good stuff.

Bottle. Reddish amber with a beige head. Modest but pleasant aroma of toast and biscuit, a little pine. Thin, but enough singed breadiness that it doesn’t seem watery. Some fruity touches, moderate bitterness. Decent quaffer regardless of the 2.9%, very good considering it.

From a 330ml bottle on 11/3/2013. Pours a cloudy golden with a very small head. Has a very pleasant floral, fruity aroma, with passionfruit and grapefruit present. Flavour wise, it starts with some muted sweet tropical and stone fruit, but this is, like the name would suggest, all about the grapefruit. with a full on, tangy, grapefruit bitterness which seeks to hang around forever. The body is medium and the carbonation perfect. This is a bold, intense and quite impressive brew, though a little more sweetness would give better balance. That said, this is another good’n from Boneyard.

Bottle, 11C. Hazy amber with a modest off-white head. Aroma of peaches, light biscuit, pepper, grapefruit, kumquat, pine. Taste is bitter straight away with sharp citrus and some pine. Medium bodied, lowish carbonation. Biscuity malt flavours get a bit swept away. Zesty bitterness is mouthdrying at the end.

Quite the achievement, this one. A tasty full-bodied low alcohol beer. The aroma is a nice, complex combo of nuts, apricot jam, citrus and pine. The malts are cholcolatey and malty with a hint of coffee while the hops are light grapefruit. I even get a little strawberry. The palate’s a little think but it’s a really enjoyable drink. Squealer from Prince Wine Store Essendon.
