<strong>QHA</strong> REVIEW | 58<br />
Never disappoints. In<br />
my top five independent<br />
breweries in Australia.<br />
An aroma of passionfruit<br />
and pine makes way for<br />
delicate resinous notes<br />
and a taste of passionfruit,<br />
blood orange, pineapple,<br />
pine and hints of peach.<br />
Combined with the toffee<br />
malt bill, it is almost a liquid<br />
version of marmalade. A<br />
super smooth drop on the<br />
sweeter side with a light<br />
bitterness.<br />
A deep, dark, indulgent<br />
stout that’s perfectly<br />
paired with gelatinous<br />
lamb shanks followed by<br />
Old Gold Cherry Ripe dark<br />
chocolate. It is absolutely<br />
guaranteed you won’t be<br />
moving much after this<br />
but you will be full to the<br />
bull and content, your<br />
mouth coated in the thick<br />
syrupy liquid and your<br />
soul soaring thanks to<br />
the haze inducing 10 per<br />
cent ABV. You will enjoy<br />
the full effect of a superb<br />
stout aged in bourbon<br />
barrels for 12 months<br />
that allows the vanilla and<br />
whisky characters to swim<br />
around your brain.<br />
Honestly can’t believe<br />
this is a mid-strength<br />
because this malty lager is<br />
a cracker Macca. Indeed<br />
there is nothing better<br />
than a refreshing crisp,<br />
clean, malt lager at the<br />
end of a warm day and<br />
Spring is almost here (well<br />
it will be by the time you<br />
read this).<br />
Beautiful brew. I am<br />
becoming quite addicted<br />
to these black ale IPAs<br />
and this is a cracking<br />
rendition of one. Taste of<br />
tropical fruit, citrus and<br />
pine with a roasted dark<br />
malt backbone just make<br />
this such an enjoyable<br />
drop. I can’t speak highly<br />
enough of this beer.
