<strong>QHA</strong> REVIEW | 50<br />
Refreshing, crisp, easy<br />
to drink and delivers all<br />
the hallmarks of a great<br />
pale ale. This brew has<br />
a light carbonation and<br />
subtle notes of citrus and<br />
elderflower, making it very<br />
sessionable. My favourite<br />
beer to date from Granite<br />
Belt.<br />
Gold Medal at the 2022<br />
Australian International<br />
Beer Awards and<br />
with good reason.<br />
Low in bitterness and<br />
carbonation, it’s very easy<br />
to drink. For me there are<br />
definite notes of banana<br />
and lemon making it<br />
resemble a Belgian wheat<br />
beer, which only adds to<br />
the appeal. Exceptionally<br />
nice.<br />
A great dry, bitter, West<br />
Coast India Pale Ale with<br />
a resinous mouthfeel.<br />
There’s a hefty punch of<br />
grapefruit followed by<br />
citrus and pine notes.<br />
Thanks to the dry hopping<br />
of classic American hops,<br />
it is the goods. Gold<br />
Medal in the 2022 IBA<br />
Indies.<br />
It’s a beauty and quite the<br />
opposite of their deep,<br />
dank and funky Old School<br />
West Coast IPA, which I<br />
also happen to love. This<br />
one is light and delicate<br />
with delectable notes<br />
of peach, orange and<br />
mandarin with a soft zesty<br />
bitterness.
