About
South East Brewing Company are the proud makers of Golden Axe Cider, KAIJU! Beer, and Coaster Beer.

Nat and Callum Reeves are the duo behind KAIJU! Beer and Golden Axe Cider. After releasing a Double IPA back in 2013 that not only got a lot of attention, but single handedly caused a statewide shortage of Simcoe hops, the brothers quickly established themselves as the original hopmasters. Since then, they have been very busy growing the KAIJU! Beer range of hop-driven beers, all made at the brewery in Dandenong South, Victoria.

Note: 2013-2015 brewed at Cavalier.

Can. Very clear gold with a cm of white head. Shyish lemony aroma with hints of tropical fruit, crackers. More vibrant taste with crackery malt behind citrus, pepper, tropical fruit and a little pine before a fairly bitter finish. Pretty good.

Can. Hazy orange, 2cm white head lasts well. Aroma of mango, pineapple, grapefruit, some lychee, light bread. Leanish but soft with lots of tropical fruit before a few oniony herbal notes creep in at the fairly bitter end. Pretty good.

Can. Pale gold, white head. Aroma of light crackers, herbal, citrus (not v juicy mandarins) and spicy notes. Light bodied, clean with just a hint of richness. Fruity and herbal but bitterness is pretty low. Refreshing.
