Brewery Rogue in Newport, Oregon USA Style Maibock ABV & IBU 6.8% Tasting Notes Amber golden colour with a big white head. A malty grain sweetness aroma at first followed by floral almost peppery scent. Sugary sweet at first but at the same time dry and smooth. A rich flavour with subtle hop bitterness and a relatively […]
Brewery Rogue in Newport, Oregon USA Style Hazy Pale Ale ABV & IBU 5.5% & 35 Tasting Notes Golden yellow with a slight haze and big, foamy, white head. A mix of herbal tropical aromas.

Brewery Mountain Goat in Melbourne, Victoria Style Session IPA ABV & IBU 4.4% Tasting Notes A light golden yellow with a big foamy white head. Subtle pine and citrus aromas.

Brewery Batch Brewing in Marrickville, NSW & Urban Beehive in Matraville, NSW Style Braggot ABV & IBU 7.1% Tasting Notes Golden yellow with a thin white head.

Mango and tropical fruit aromas. A little bit of bubbly carbonation bite. Soft on the palette with some bitterness on the back end. Creamy and citrusy, […]
Brewery Batch Brewing in Marrickville, NSW and Bad Shepherd in Cheltenham, Victoria Style Porter ABV & IBU 5.9% Tasting Notes Deep dark brown to black in colour with a small off white head.

Brewery Five Barrel in Wollongong, NSW Style American Brown Ale ABV & IBU 5.8% & 32 Tasting Notes Rich, coffee brown in colour. Notes of chocolate come in under a big hop profile. A combination of noble bittering hops and new world aromatic hops to bring a real delight to the senses. I’ve been craving a […]
