Description
The Home of Esker is at the Australian Hotel & Brewery in Rouse Hill. Our production facility there has been the only brewery in the Hills Shire for the last 12 years. We believe that all roads will eventually lead you home. Inspired by our home in the Hills Shire of Sydney, we craft beers to be enjoyed on that journey.

Can - Light earthy and spicy hops with biscuit. Clearish gold with a decent white head. Light earthy hops and a dry finish. OK, but I don’t really get the fruity notes, may be a bit old.

From a 375ml can on 11/7/2016. Pours a slightly cloudy golden with a small head. The aroma features sweet fruit, orange zest, mild Belgian yeast and a touch of spice. Sweet fruit (pear, peach and orange) get things under way taste wise, followed by some light spice and yeast, a bit of lemon and grapefruit, finished off by some pretty big hops. Really nicely balanced and exceptionally refreshing for something that weighs in at 10.5%. The palate is slightly syrupy and the carbonation is average. A really well made, interesting tripel.

On tap at the Australian Brewery, pours a hazy yellow with a medium white head. Aroma brings out farmhouse yeast and light biscuity malt. Flavour is rather dull, with earthy biscuity notes and farmhouse yeast. Not especially effervescent or dynamic, but clean enough. Decent.

On tap at the Australian Brewery, pours a deep dark mahogany with a medium tan head. Aroma brings out notes of oats and lightly fruity bready malt. Flavour brings out dark fruity notes, bready malt and cocoa. Pretty weak and not very stout-like. It's okay.

On tap at the Australian Brewery, pours a hazy copper with a small white head. Aroma brings out Belgian yeast and piney hops. Flavour is weird, with metallic notes, herbal hops and Belgian yeast. Not very well-balanced. Not too good.

On tap at the Australian Brewery, pours a hazy yellow with a tiny white head. Aroma brings out medium sweetness and green apples. Flavour is medium sweet and fairly monolithic, with not a very complex apple character. Reasonably nice but not a very impressive one.

On tap at the Australian Brewery, pours a cloudy copper orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out piney hops and biscuity malt. Flavour is quite weak, with light floral hops and biscuity malt. Light and low in sweetness with barely any bitterness. Quite weak.

On tap at the Australian Brewery, pours a hazy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of corn and biscuity malt. Flavour is fresh, with notes of corn, straw and biscuity malt. Easy but clean and refreshing. Decent.
