What a find and what a<br />
magic drop. It is gluten<br />
reduced but this has<br />
certainly not diminished<br />
the flavour at all. The<br />
lightest in colour, this<br />
Blonde Ale mixes a<br />
traditional Aussie hop with<br />
some new world flavour.<br />
We expect, and sure hope<br />
to hear, a lot more from<br />
this Gladstone based<br />
craft brewery.<br />
Another nice surprise<br />
and again, a very nice<br />
drop indeed. Crisp,<br />
dry golden ale layered<br />
with Australian, US and<br />
European hops. A clean<br />
malt body with a subtle<br />
bitterness, with aroma<br />
of citrus, white wine and<br />
tropical fruits. It’s quite<br />
bitter for a golden ale but<br />
certainly goes down easy.<br />
She is bitter with a big<br />
punch of passionfruit. This<br />
one will really knock your<br />
socks off. This is a super<br />
strong hop-forward beer<br />
with aromas of sweet<br />
passionfruit and grapefruit<br />
layered on a strong malty<br />
backbone.<br />
A medium-bodied Belgian<br />
style wheat beer in the<br />
same vein as Hoegaarden<br />
but just not as good.<br />
Flavours of malt blended<br />
with hints of coriander<br />
and orange peel make for<br />
a refreshing beer.<br />
