3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
(bottle) Poured clear golden amber with no head. Aroma was citrusy hops with hints of caramel and grass. Medium body with good carbonation. Flavour had a nice initial sweetness that quickly gives way to a citrus tartness and then a hop bitterness builds for a long finish. Overall this beer lacks finesse and complexity but is still a nice drop.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
For those who are fans of Little Creatures Pale Ale. This one definitely rivals it. I think this brew is just missing the somewhat following that creature’s has
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Alpha pours deep almost orange amber a loosly packed dense foam which quickly settles down. This beer is a hop bomb its aroma almost overloads the senses, its herbal, grassy and of a citrus nature. I found the palate a little on the thin watery side and my first impression was slight over carbonation. The beer has lovely bitterness and I think Matilda bay have found a nice balance between aroma and taste, this beer is way above average for an australian beer.
