Although pale ale is one of the world’s most common beer styles, Crosswind is anything but. Light in colour but not flavour, our pale ale is a surefire hit among drinkers of full-flavoured premium imports.

A nice beer to have again.

A nice touch of hop just enough. Nice odor, this beer smell really nice.

The 43 ml can is 5% ABV, and an IBU of 25. Just the amount I can tollerate.

I will have this one again.

Another excellent beer from Lake of Bays. This brewery has done some excellent work mixing various elements with taste and smell, whilst breaking the narrative on the style, in a good way.

From a "tall can" (could not find a bottle)

Look(4.25): Golden, with hints of orange and amber. Very attractive in a traditional UK style pint glass.
Smell(3.25): Relatively traditional for the style, Mainly hops with hints of other attractive elements.
Taste(4): First thing that came was hops, finishing with malts and a mixture of bitter and sweet
Feel(4): Heavy, slightly creamy, slightly flat. All the elements of this beer complement each other
Overall(4): Easily one of the best beers I've tried this year. Would like to see a little more carbonation in the beer, but it doesn't ruin the experience. Went great with smoked ribs. Would recommend to a friend.
