COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Richly coloured, hop driven amber ale. Generous helpings of crystal malt give the Amber a rising toffee/caramel flavour through the mid palate, giving way to a smooth, pleasant and clean roast barley malt finish. Generous helpings of Galaxy hops give the Amber a floral and grapefruit hop nose.
Medium bodied Amber ale, with a strong floral and citrus hop presence.

Hazy amber, lacing, earthy, herbal, lots of bitterness, and good complexity of crackery malt.

Draught. Had this at a brew pub in Darling Harbor in Sydney. Not the best beer but not terrible either.

Hand pump: Looks great but an average aroma. Not a great amber, but not bad either. Quaffable on a hot autumn day.
