(2000) Great Aussie version of an English Ale not Belgan. Malty & hoppy, quite complex variety of flavours. Must be aged though.

Brown-russet in color; medium to thin head that stayed lively. Orange in the nose in a non-citrus sort of way. Incredible mouthfeel. Beautiful lace. Spicy smooth raisins. Nice hop character that is quite unusual. Almost like a belgian dry.

Nose is estery and spicy, some hints of earthy hops, and a dash of caramel underneath. Lots of CO2 wafting up as well. Medium-bodied beer, with a fair amount of carbonation, leaving the odd feeling of creaminess and prickliness at the same time. Main flavors are a maltiness accented by caramel and chocolate hints, along with some earthy hops in the mix. Finishes very, very balanced, with a firm bitterness taking over at the end. Alcohol is reasonably well-hidden. A pretty good beer, if a bit unexciting.

Dark copper in colour cloudy and yeasty. Thick white head, sweet malty taste very little bitterness. Certainly different recipe from previous years.

UPDATED: JUL 1, 2003 quite a deep bittersweet maltiness. sweet and with some furry fruit. lacking a bit in character other than the coopers yeast finish
