Red Hill Brewery Reviews

hawthorne00	3.5 Red Hill Blacksmith Dunkel Weizen Can. 50th beer from Red Hill. Their normal wheat beer is great fresh and this is only a couple of weeks old. So high hopes even though it's not a favoured style of mine. Deep brown with a large beige head. A few clumps. Bready aroma with lots of clove, some mocha and banana behind. Less sweet than guessed with bread, mocha and roast. Not much banana (suits me) with cloves and pepper at the quite snappy end. Monday, April 1, 2024
Davros	3.5 Red Hill The Dark Horse Pours dark brown with a large fading pale tan head. Nose shows bready, nutty and toasty malt. Flavours include more nutty malt, soft bready malt and a hint of roast on the finish. Very easy-drinking. Saturday, March 16, 2024

hawthorne00	3.7 Red Hill Big Smoke Rauchbock Can. Dark brown with an inch of pale beige head that lasts well. Sticky, oozy smokey caramel and bread aroma. So it tastes - heavy smoke, singed toffee, hints of ham, some spices and bitterness - just enough to finish things. Rich with an off dry finish. Good. Friday, September 22, 2023
jandamckay	3.6 Red Hill Scotch Ale Nice Thursday, June 22, 2023
ads135	4 Red Hill A Crazy American Lost In Belgium Can from Farrah's Liquor Collective in Fyshwick in 2023. Pours yellow with a thick frothy head. I really nice Belgian Golden Age - crisp with a ton of clove and banana. Saturday, May 13, 2023
Maris	3.6 Red Hill A Crazy American Lost In Belgium From a 355ml can on 18/4/2023. Pours a ultra clear light golden with a medium head that disappears quickly. The nose is fruity and spicy, with almost a bit of witbier about it with hints of banana ajnd coriander. Tastes fruity with a good dash of Belgian yeast, some banana again, finishing with a light spiced bitterness. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Pleasant enough if a little subdued given the 7.5. Love the can art. Tuesday, April 18, 2023
mkel07	4.1 Red Hill Hop Stringers Saison 10 March 2023. Can from Malt Traders. Great tasting saison with a hint of spice in the finish. Monday, April 10, 2023
mkel07	4.2 Red Hill Long Live the King 24 December 2022. Can from Malt Traders. This beer certainly doesn’t look like a Pilsner as it looks a lot more robust in the glass than most Pilsners that I have had, and that transfers to the mouthfeel as well. Friday, January 20, 2023
hawthorne00	4 Red Hill Long Live the King Can from the brewery. Clear gold with a good inch of white head. Surprisingly subtle, floaty aroma with floral and spicy notes, vine leaves, crusty bread. There is some hint of alcohol. Only medium bodied. Not very sweet with bread and some singed caramel. Pops with peppery and floral hops. Brief bitter finish leaves some spices to linger. I thought this highly unlikely to work but it's great. Sunday, January 15, 2023
hawthorne00	3.7 Red Hill Hop Stringers Saison Tap. Deep gold w a lasting white head. Aroma of fresh cracker bread, some apricot, spices. Light bodied, creamy. Fruity, mildly funky, punchy spicy and bitter - some cloves, mostly hop. Good stuff. Monday, January 9, 2023
Davros	4 Red Hill Double Barrel Imperial Stout Bourbon Cask Batch No. 2 Pours black with a dark tan head. Nose shows vanilla, coconut, roasted malt, cocoa, oak, creme brulee. Flavours include more coconut, soft roasted malt, milk chocolate, biscuity malt. No hint of the booze at all! Saturday, December 10, 2022
PubTun39	3.7 Red Hill No Through Road WCIPA Light copperish colour. It's a decent WCIPA, nothing overly incredible, nothing offensive. It's good. Thursday, October 20, 2022
Grumbo	3.1 Red Hill Scotch Ale 16/10/2022. Bottle from Dan Murphy’s. Pours clear deep copper chestnut brown with a small bubbly/frothy beige head. Aroma of toffee, dried fruits, bread, nut, plum, sourdough, light woody spicy notes. Medium sweetness and moderate bitterness with a slightly sour edge. Moderate body, a bit watery, prickly carbonation. Aroma is nice but not especially keen. Sunday, October 16, 2022
PubTun39	2.9 Red Hill Imperial Stout Pretty anti-climactic. Luckily it has its 8% going for it, because as smooth as this feels in the mouth, it has very little flavour. Saturday, October 8, 2022
PubTun39	2.8 Red Hill Scotch Ale It's interesting, like a barrel aged beer without the ageing. It feels like it's supposed to be much stronger, but it's quite light. Decent. Saturday, October 8, 2022
PubTun39	3.1 Red Hill Weizenbock It was actually the "special 8% release" that I tried, but it is extremely wheaty and very, very bitter. Quite nice. Saturday, October 8, 2022
PubTun39	3.5 Red Hill Fandango Bohemian Pilsner Better than average pilsner. My daughter said it smelled like oranges. She didn't try it though. She's 4. Sunday, September 25, 2022
odhill	4 Red Hill Scotch Ale Saturday, July 16, 2022

bavila	3 Red Hill Pancho Molè Imperial Stout Wednesday, August 4, 2021
Davros	3.5 Red Hill The Rip Pours hazy orange with a large fading head. Nose shows delicate bready and biscuity malt along with a hint of peach and bit of spicy and herbal hops. Flavours include bready, biscuity and nutty characters but without much malt sweetness. Floral, spicy and herbal hops roll through after with a reasonable but not aggressive bitterness. Saturday, May 22, 2021
Samma	3.8 Red Hill Pancho Molè Imperial Stout Can, cellared for over a year. Black. Chocolate still there on nose. Oh, and so is that chilli in the mouth. A nice breadth of chilli too. It burns and forces you to slow down and appreciate. Wednesday, May 5, 2021
Choos	3.9 Red Hill Pancho Molè Imperial Stout Aroma: rich malt and carbon Appearance: pitch black, hint of brown, no head Taste: spicy, sweet malt, chocolate Palate: long burn finish Monday, April 5, 2021
hawthorne00	3.7 Red Hill No Through Road WCIPA Can. Gold with a frothy white head. Aroma of mango skin, pine, mandarin, light bread. 7+ Medium bodied. Moderately sweet with tropical fruit and light bread before it dries out a bit and resin build towards the bitter finish. 3+ Fresh, good- but could be from anywhere. Friday, April 2, 2021
Davros	3.6 Red Hill The Pickers Pours copper with a small fading head. Nose shows spicy, herbal and earthy hops, some soft grassy notes too, giving it a strong German impression. Some biscuity and bready malt underneath and a hint of caramel. Flavours include more bready and buscuity malt, a bit of golden syrup and sultanas, some spicy rye-like notes and more of the herbal and earthy hops. Lovely semi-creamy mouthfeel. Thursday, February 25, 2021
ANZUShophunter	3.6 Red Hill A Crazy American Lost In Belgium From can (BB Oct'21) in Belgian ale glass. Pours initially clear gold w/some cloudy sediment near the end. Rocky white head that settled into a ring, aroma of banana, bubblegum, corriander, white pepper. "Fruity and yeasty" (as stated on the can) before a dry, spicy finish. Friday, January 22, 2021
ANZUShophunter	3.3 Red Hill Weizenbock From can (8%abv) in dimpled mug. Pours dark brown w/2cm of creamy tan head, fruity aroma w/light clove over roast malt. Choc caramel taste blends w/aniseed, light bitterness in finish. Wednesday, January 6, 2021
mkel07	3.8 Red Hill Christmas Haze Can from Greenslopes Cellars on 25 December 2020. Is it even Christmas if you don’t have a Christmas beer on Christmas morning? This hazy beauty is the perfect way to start Christmas. Thursday, December 24, 2020

Lunkie	3.1 Red Hill The Rip Hop malt biscuit spice aroma. Murky amber colour fair head and lacing. Malt caramel biscuit hop flavour. Smooth lingering palate. Monday, September 7, 2020
silentcomedian	4.7 Red Hill Scotch Ale A great example of a Scotch Ale, deep copper colour, rich, sweet butterscotch flavour, creamy head. Love it Wednesday, August 19, 2020
hawthorne00	3.8 Red Hill The Pickers Can. Clear deep amber with a small beige head. Aroma of bread crust, spices, some dried peach. Mouthfilling with low carbonation. Fairly sweet at first with dark toffee, bread and peach before marmalade and noble type spiciness take over towards the firmly bitter finish. Similar to Harvest but more hops I guess. Not fashionable but still very much for me. Saturday, August 8, 2020
hawthorne00	3.5 Red Hill et al Campfire Pale Ale Can. Pale gold with a slight haze and a white head that doesn't last that long. Aroma of passionfruit, mandarin, honeydew melon. Light bodied with wheat crackers but little sweetness, fruit that's soon overtaken by pointed and slightly spicy bitterness. A solid offering. Sunday, July 5, 2020
Davros	2.9 Red Hill Fandango Bohemian Pilsner Pours gold with a large white head. Nose shows spicy herbal and grassy hops, a slight lemony note and soft biscuity malt. Flavours include more grassy hops and earthy notes, grainy malt and a cardboard-like note. Saturday, May 9, 2020

hawthorne00	3.8 Red Hill Fandango Bohemian Pilsner Can. Same beer as the old one? Been too long to say but certainly similar. Rich and bready with almost coiled spice and grass that gradually grips. Slightly cloudy with a white head that never quite disappears. Dangerously drinkable. Tuesday, March 3, 2020
jmgreenuk	3.4 Red Hill Harvest Bottle from the brewery. Poured a slightly hazy medium amber colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is malt, light toffee caramel, light tropical fruit hop. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a malty, juicy sweet citrus, woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. Saturday, February 22, 2020
jase3812	3.9 Red Hill Bright Red Belgian IPA Brewed with hibiscus this IPA has a sweet citrus flavour to it. Lingering hoppy flavour on the palate but not too strong like a west coast IPA. Good modern twist on the traditional European IPA. The hopheads will enjoy this one along with the Belgian purists, and the flavour hipsters will be raving about it for weeks on end.
