Southwark Pale Ale

Brewed by South Australia Brewing (Lion Nathan Co.)
Style: English Pale Ale
Thebarton, Australia

terrible effort at an ale. from the same state as coopers, this beer should be ashamed to call itself a true pale ale. Its too mass-market and the producers have forgotton to add any real hoppy flavour to it. Keep to the coopers and cascade for better pale ales

Lovely pale orange appearance, with a creamy, frothy head and decent lace, quite light on in the flavour depatment, but extremely fresh, refreshing mouthfeel, nice and dry, its decent.

The flavour doesn’t have as much character as Coopers pale but is still a very refreshing pale ale.

A great aroma. Probably slightly fresher tasting than coopers. Wonderful cloudy appearance, sort of a cloudy version of the premium.

Good with fish’n’chips. A good ole fashioned Adelaide kinda beer. Very pale indeed, even paler than Coopers pale, and with a better head too. Lightly woody fruity flavours (peach, passionfruit) and a good deep earthy bitterness to anchor the overall light, refreshing texture.

Strong complex nose with thin, fine head. Excellent lacing. Light woodiness and sweet maltiness combine into a balanced ale. Better as it warmed toward room temp of about 12ºC or 54ºF, no increase in the ethers. Softer late notes and finish are clean and very dry,.. or is that me.. MMMMMM need more SPA.
