Grand Ridge Gippsland Gold

Brewed by Grand Ridge Brewing Co.
Style: Bitter
Mirboo North. Vic., Australia

Bottle. Slightly muddy amber, rapidly dissipating light-beige head. Somewhat earthy aroma, with some toasted caramel and fruit malts. Slightly resiny hops, too. Taste is fruity and mildly sweet, body medium. Finish is quite dry and slightly excessively carbonated.

Bottle. Caramel and dough on the nose. In the mouth carbonated and again lots of caramel and full bodied for the style. A bit boring and nothing I would go for again.

Bottle -this beer looks great after the pour; a very dark orange with a large white head. Fruity aroma with a malt undertone. very nice very slightly sweet malt flavour. Nice dry finish.

330ml bottle. Huge mountainous white head when poured into glass. All froth that took a while to settle. Cloudy amber colour .

Bottle. Fruity hops and grainy malt mingle in the nose. Wonderfully fruity and juicy on the palate, the malt is toffeeish. The bitter finish is just a bit metallic though.

Bottle from my brother; poured an amber color with a white, somewhat milky head. Aroma of nuts, caramel, fruit and some unexpected banana. A good amount of carbonation on the palate. Flavor was a little dicey to begin with; got better with a few tastes. Some toffee, fruit, grass and some weird herbal? elements at the end. Wasn’t too easy to drink. Not a great beer.

...bottle. Nice flavor, good water, and interesting hops. The hop notes are not typical, and actually add alot to this brew. Medium body, smooth on the palate, with hints of fruit. Goes down well, but overpriced.

330ml bottle. The Gippsland Gold poured a medium amber colour with a fair, slightly off-white head that dissipated quite quickly. Aroma was hoppy and fruity, with hints of banana and caramel. The taste was malty with a toffee type sweetness. It also had some fruity notes. Creamy mouthfeel with small, tight bubbles and a lingering bitterness. Very easy to drink.
