“At Jindabyne brewing we love brewing so to keep it fun we like to change-it-up and brew a variety of seasonals throughout the year., we hope you guys enjoy them like we enjoy the four seasons we experience in the mountains.”

Glassware: English Pint.

Appearance: Very light brown to amber with a thumb of off-white head perched on top. Good retention and healthy lace clinging to the glass as we hook in.

Aroma: Very old skool style Brown Ale which is totally this brewery’s MO. It’s one of the main things we love about them. Our first thoughts of it once laying eyes on and smelling it is a close resemblance to the O.G – Newcastle Brown Ale. It has a delicate nutty aroma with a good helping of caramel and toast. Something a little tangy and marmalade-like in here too. Love it.

Flavour: That tangy component is much more noticeable here. At first we thought it was a kind of marmalade-on-toast flavour but after a few more sips it’s more of a fusion of earthy and citrusy hops mingling with the semi sweet and nutty malts. There’s a slight shift late in the piece which finishes the beer off with a hint of toast and golden raisin.

Mouthfeel: Smooth, silky and effortless. Slightly lifted Co2 which we like. The 4.5% ABV is spot on for a conventional Brown.

Overall: Solid. Love the move into 500ml bottles too. Somewhat bucking the trend and going back to glass. How very European. Suits their approach.
