“Passionfruit, mango and hints of malt sweetness.”
Glassware: Shaker.
Appearance: Bold amber with a light haze. A finger of white foam sits atop and works a wavy lace down the glass.
Aroma: Clean and refreshing notes of pine, herbs, grapefruit, zingy orange, passion fruit and light florals. Just the slightest touch of pithy citrus creeping in. Kind of a sweet malt structure – biscuity/doughy maybe a tad husky. Nicely balanced nose.
Flavour: An easy going blend of mango, citrus, pineapple and passionfruit to the fore. It’s supported by a nice malt sweetness, delicate earthy/spicy hop bitterness, tangy citrus and subtle grapefruit which delivers a light and well rounded finish.
Mouthfeel: Approachable, light and refreshing. Mild-medium body, moderate co2.
Overall: It’s just another light and uneventful Aussie pale ale. Yes it’s super palate-friendly and sessional but there’s nothing overly exciting about it. Good but not great.
