2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bit of a lifeless head on an almost copper body. Hop aroma that doesn’t stand out too much, which is very similar in the taste - boring. You could probably just pick it as a APA but maybe not.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. A great hop aroma, dark orange in colour, a good hop aftertaste, a well balanced malt taste.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from Mane Liquor. Pours copper with a small white head. Aroma is caramel and toffee malts and slight citrus. Predominately malts coming through in the taste with citrus cutting through the middle. Nice enough pale, not as hoppy as I was expecting for an APA
1.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
a waste of time.. i guess it has a pretty label but thats about as much as its got going for it
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
An above-average APA from one of the better local brewers. Doesn’t bear comparison to the best of the west coast APAs after which it’s fashioned but it’s superior to most of the flabby pale ales on local shelves. Looks very much as it oughtta, but the aroma is short on hop character. There’s melon and faint passionfruit but the malts command more attention than the style warrants. Chewy toffee notes in the mouth and a nice herbal note in the swallow. Some nice clean piney characters - just wish it packed a few more IBUs. Solid. (330ml bottle)
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
330mL. Pours a clear amber to orange with a healthy, off-white head with excellent retention and good lace. Nose is fresh citrus, zest, dried pineapple, dried papaya, coconut. Taste is fruity, dry, slightly bland, earthy bitter, newspaper and cardboard.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Murky amber colour with great head and lacing. Sweet fruit malt hop aroma. Sweet hop spice malt flavour with fruit and flowers. Fizzy palate.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
330ml bottle. Hazy amber body with a medium dense lasting white head. Lots of fruity hops on the nose with passionfruit, grapefruit, oranges, melon and pine-needles. Bittersweet malt backbone with a very satisfying dry bitter hop finish. Medium bodied with a spritely mouthfeel. Excellent local APA.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
UPDATED: JUL 15, 2010 fantastic australian pale ale. quite grassy, pours a hazy yellow with a fruity/caramel finish
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
From a 330ml bottle on 24/5/2010. Has quite a powerful fruity, floral nose. The flavour is a bit more subdued - it has a pleasant fruity sweetness, and a moderate but lasting hop finish, .which almost tastes a little wine like. A solid, if not spectacular, APA
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
one of fav beers going around, they are local to me so it great to support them. fantastic balance with the malt and hop character make this a great session beer...
