Are we excited? Hmmm. let me see, A Session IPA, a Pale Ale, a Double IPA at 8.8% all in cans and brewed by experienced world class craft brewers. They're local and as fresh as can be, why yes, yes we are very excited, indeed.'

From an email I received.....................

 

In other words, it's in shops now in Perth. IIPA is for the far gone hopheads, pale was decent but not great, haven't tried the session IPA yet. Decently priced for the offering, especially kegs.

 

i hope they are inc gst ....

 

I really liked the Pale, heavy on the Mosaic. IIPA was oxidized, stale hop character, and had strained yeast aromas to it. Session IPA was just bitter and nothing else.

 

I thought all 3 beers were very good. Except I personally dislike Mosaic (pale), and the IIPA was more an imperial red with some caramel notes that I did not appreciate. Didn't think it was a brewing fault, rather just recipe related. It seemed to just be just the high abv. All 3 beers appeared fresh and well brewed.

Very promising - and it was nice not to be full of yeast & green apple like a lot of Aussie breweries. It seems they have a brand new top quality brewhouse and canning line with good QC.

Good branding & pricing as well. I prefer my beer in six packs rather than 4-packs priced like 6 packs.

 

I was impressed by all three, personally I don't like the whole "session" ipa trend but theirs is easily the best aussie version ive tried
