Great Bay Pale is our limited release Summer pale. It's named for the beach across from our Bruny Island Brewery where it was made. This is a slightly hazy ale with minimal smooth bitterness and a solid galaxy hop aroma and flavour. The result is bursting with tropical fruit aromas, perfect for sitting on the shore of Great Bay, or any other beautiful beach, on a warm summer arvo.

Purchased at Chas Cole Cellarbrations in Geelong in May 2025 and drunk in August that year.
L: Crystal clear, dark golden yellow with an initially mountainous, frothy head, that settled to a couple of cm high, loosely bubbled frothiness. Lots, and I mean lots, of carbomation swirls around on the way up the glass.
S: The nose is nectarine and peach, with a little bit of tropical citrus thrown in.
T: The taste profile is much thinner than expected. The nectarine notes are definitely there, but they're thin and a little watery. The beer finishes with a sweet, tropical note, but like the rest of the taste profile, it's washed away by the overall thinness of everything.
M: The body of the beer comes through, not unsurprisingly, as thin and a little watery. Carbonation is medium, but there's quite a carbonic kick on the swallow.
O: Unfortunately, this is a miss. It's thin and watery, and in the end, that totally overwhelms the tropical/nectarine notes that are in there.
Cheers!
