3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours dark amber with a small lasting head.
Nose shows massive toasty/nutty malt and caramel alongside a heap of earthy, resinous hops... nice!
Similar hops and malt follow as flavours, although the hops take a more dominant role with big resinous notes and a pronounced bitterness.
Carbonation is a bit high for these flavours.

At the brewhouse. Really good. A deep red colour and a pretty think head. Flowery hoppy aroma. NIce in the mouth. sweet and a hoppy zing to the taste.

Draught at James Squire Brewhouse, Portland Hotel, Melbourne. Pours amber with a medium beige head. Tropical fruit and citrus, grassy hop notes. Medium bodied. Good hoppy bitterness right through to the finish with an underlying fruitiness to balance this out. I’m not sure what style they’re going for but it’s a pleasant beer and one of the better ones available here.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Nice looking beer with a creamy thin head; ’flat-white’ style. Attractive herbal green hop flavour, very restrained and well backed with classy (but mild) caramel malts. Perhaps a touch dilutive but seems well made. Marketed as a red ale which I guess is there or thereabouts.
