Commercial Description:
This big English ale combines everything we love about beer. It is smooth and rich with malt and is robust with alcohol. A myriad of English hops gives this beer a ripe citric tan of bitterness that will linger with the lucky drinker.

On tap at the Brewhaus, Lovely englis hop aroma, bursting with a malty sweetness.Thick and malty on the palate, with a great floral bitterness. A truly pleasant surprise

Draught @ the lovely, absolutely huge, no expense spared brewhouse, Mindarie Keys Marina, Mindarie.
Honestly need to sit back and change my opinion of micro’s in Oz. We brew up some pleasant quaffer’s here and there, but the general Aussie beer drinker doesn’t want lactic sourness, yeasty extremities or high alpha acid ales, he/she just wants something that tastes like beer!?!?. Subconsciously, and hell even on the surface, I didn’t expect much of this ale. ’IPA’ as a term has been used and abused, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. And I think it lies in this gem. Tasted in it’s own standard pint glass, very British. Presented well; tight, though flaccid head of cream that lasted and legged it well down the glass. Body was a bright, sparkling orangey copper that held very fine intermittent streams of carbonation that were sluggish to erupt. The aroma is subdued; fresh, clean malts, orange marmalade, light breadyness and some yeast. Quite Summery and pleasing enough, but it does come alive in the mouth. Zingy, well rounded presence on the palate. Nice blend of juicy ripe oranges, toasted and crystallised malts, biting, spicy and bitter, grassy hops in back and a fresh as fresh, quenching swallow that holds well in the mouth. Body is medium, very firm and solid in feel and lightly prickly in carbonation. You could say this was served perfectly. Aftertaste shows some nutty, toasted malts and spicy, bitter oranges with just and edge of vanilla that my wife picked up on her first mouthful. The fact she found it refreshing was enough to say this was a damn fine Pale ale. This coming Summers perfect session ale. Balanced to perfection, well defined and has it all working in its own favour. Very Nice.

Slightly darker body than the pils, still with no head, this reminds of an English premium bitter, nice harsh citric sort of bitterness, some caramel notes on the taste and then some nutty notes on the finish.
