<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.
