Matso's Nightlife Strong Ginger Beer
Can purchased from Dan Murphy’s and drank on 10 January 2024. Nice and refreshing on a warm summers evening. Strong ginger flavour with a dry heat in the back of the throat.

Matso's Mango Beer
Old Untappd checkin, October 19, 2018. Brown glass bottle. Pours a hazy golden color. Big, almost overpowering mango aroma. Flavor is predominantly mango, albeit slightly artificial, with very little "beer" flavor. Nice and refreshing, but not even the best fruit beer from Matso's.

Matso's Lower Sugar Ginger Beer
I came across this beer at Star liquor express in Murgon of all places. I have had Matsos ginger beer before but not this lower sugar version I didn’t even know it existed. It may be 50% less sugar than the original version but it certainly has the same great earthy flavour with a little bit of zing comes with a good ginger beer.

Matso's Mango Beer
Does pretty much watch it says. Lots of mango, but quite an artificial taste. Won't satisfy a beer craving but is a bit of fun.

Matso's Mango Beer
330 ml bottle. Clear straw color with rapidly fading white foam. Sweet, fruity aroma of mango and lychee. Sweet as mixed tropical fruit syrup. The aftertaste of mango is a little more convincing.

Matso's Tom Yum Chilli Beer
Taster at Matso’s Broome. Poured a crystal clear mid-amber with a thin collar that didn’t lace. Carbonation very high, slow and fine to medium. Aroma of lemongrass and hot spicy chilli with maybe a hint of lime. Taste of moderately strong lemongrass, strong spicy chilli and lime. Light body. Smooth with a long spicy finish. Very spicy such as to leave some time before you can taste anything but chilli.

Matso's Chango
Taster at Matso’s Broome. Poured a clear pale gold with a few mm of bright white foam that diminished quickly; no lace. Carbonation moderate, lively and fine to medium. Aroma with lots of fresh spicy chilli; very over-powering. Taste initially of sweet mango but quickly over-powered by very spicy fresh chilli. Light body. Smooth with a very long spicy finish. Nice for chilli lovers.

Matso's Angry Ranga
Draught at Matso’s Broome. Poured a clouded light yellow brown (looks like an old fashioned ginger beer) with no head. Carbonation moderate, lively and medium to coarse. Aroma with lots of fresh ginger followed by hot spicy chilli. Taste initially of fresh ginger quickly followed by hot spicy chill that dominates anything else. Light body Smooth with a thin mouthfeel and a lingering finish. 20/11/2018 From a stubbie poured a clouded light yellow brown (looks like old fashioned ginger beer) with no head. Carbonation high, lively and medium to coarse. Aroma initially of fresh ginger then big amounts of hot chilli. Taste of earthy ginger followed quickly by hot chilli, then the more you drink the more the chilli takes over and numbs the lips and tongue; take a break and the earthy ginger comes back the next sip, but then so does the chilli. Light body. If you like a spicy mix of ginger and chilli, try this ... best sipped slowly.

Matso's Angry Ranga
Bottle from Cellarbrations Hawthorn on 19 August 2018. I expected some heat but was not prepared for the mouth numbing hotness from the chilli. I broke out in a sweat drinking this beer. The heat settled the more you drank but the spicey earthy burn in the throat stayed around for a while.

Matso's Angry Ranga
Taster at Matso's brewery Broome. Pours cloudy lemon with no head. Aroma is chilli and ginger. Flavour is a massive hit of chilli heat with solid ginger in the background. Taste is sweet and a little sour. Palate is a bit difficult to assess due to the chilli heat. Overall an interesting drink. Massively hot which makes it hard to drink much. One 100 ml taster is plenty. Of note is that the keg beer is 4% abv and the bottle 3.5%.

Matso's Pearlers Pale Ale
Taster at Matso's brewery, Broome. Pours clear light gold with small white head that dissipates. Medium carbonation. Aroma has some very strange off citrus notes, a bit like a rotten lemon. Flavour again dominated by the off aroma. Not pleasant. Palate is light with light bitterness. Overall not good but might be a bad batch as that taste can't be intentional. I don't think it is DMS but can't quite put a name to the flavour.

Matso's Bishop's Best Dark Lager
Taster at Matso's Brewery, Broome. Pours clear dark brown/amber with a small cream head. Aroma is smoky and toffee malt. Flavour is an odd mix of smoke, toffee and coffee. Taste is more sweet than bitter but balanced. Palate is reasonably light with some carbonation. Overall not bad. Sort of a more approachable rauchbier style. Pilsner malt notes are acceptable and the is no objectionable funky larger esters.

Matso's Hit The Toad Premium Lager
Taster at Matso's Brewery, Broome. Pours clear pale gold with small white head that dissipates quickly. High carbonation. Aroma slightly citrus with some pils malt. Flavour is dominated by citrus hops, not particularly floral. Pilsner malt (biscuit etc.) character is also noticeable. Taste is more bitter than sweet but a good balance exists. Palate is light and refreshing. Some lingering bitterness but not strong. Overall a good larger. Malt and hops with a clean finish and no funky lager yeast esters. Decent.

Matso's Mango Beer
It tastes like mango juice or some kind of cheap soft drink, it doesn't taste like beer at all. Nothing to write about. However if you like mangos - go ahead and give it a try.

Matso's Hit The Toad Premium Lager
Apparently 'unretired' because here it is! 4.7% 330ml bottle into schooner glass. Deep golden colour with frothy white head and high carbonation. Nose is sweet malt. Medium body, slight malt taste . Some bitterness in the finish then a little more sweet malt and a distant hint of herbs/grass. Super easy-drinking lager.

Matso's Mango Beer
Bottle 330ml (BB 04.04.2018). Clear golden colour without head. Aroma is definitely like mango but it smells a little bit articicially. Sweet like not beer without bitterness. it tastes like sweet drink, not like a beer. Very poor sample of fruit beer.

Matso's Rare Release Ginger Barley Wine
Aroma is definently ginger, there is a reddish tinge capped by a small lasting off white head, flavour, well ginger of coarse, lightly hopped and hints of malt trying to break through the spicy ginger, I found it quite warming and very enjoyable, it’s not the summer refreshing Ginger Beer!
