Queenslanders will have<br />
the opportunity to grab<br />

GOLD.<br />
Said to be the beer that<br />
helped put San Diego<br />
IPA’s on the map. We are<br />
not surprised... well aside<br />
from our initial perception.<br />
Found in a Dan Murphy’s<br />
discount box, our<br />
expectations weren’t<br />
high but we soon found<br />
out how far off the mark<br />
we were. A big hop, big<br />
flavour IPA thanks to the<br />
abundance of American<br />
Columbus and Centennial<br />
varieties that provides its<br />
signature bitterness whilst<br />
still remaining beautifully<br />
balanced. This beer is<br />
incredible.<br />
An absolutely beautiful<br />
beer. It positively<br />
reminded us of how good<br />
a good lager can be. We<br />
admittedly have been on<br />
the IPA bandwagon of<br />
late but this reminded us<br />
that lagers need not be<br />
boring. An exceptionally<br />
clean, fresh taste and very<br />
smooth. Sure to impress<br />
no matter what kind of<br />
beer you prefer.<br />
Not quite a regular lager<br />
and not quite a pale<br />
lager. Interesting but<br />
enjoyable nonetheless.<br />
It’s kind of like a slightly<br />
citrusy tasting pale lager<br />
that’s easy drinking,<br />
uncomplicated and light.<br />
Refreshes your mouth<br />
with a clean crisp flavour.<br />
