Hawthorn Pale Ale – 4.7% Alcohol
October 11, 2009 – 6:10 pm
Poured from the bottle with a nice creamy head around 2cm in height which sticks around for awhile before collapsing to a thin white covering. The aroma is comprised mostly of caramel, malt sweetness with some hints of mango.
On the palate this beer has a medium mouth feel which leads the way with some hop bitter spiciness that transforms into malty, caramel flavours accompanied by the odd hint of citrus and tropical fruit. The ending is fresh and crisp with a slight twang that leaves you wanting more.
Verdict: A great pale ale easy to drink, and constantly spurring on the drinker to take another sip.
Rating: 8.1 / 10

Cheers for the review of our Pale Ale & glad you enjoyed it!!. We’re really pleased with our beer & more importantly the feedback from the drinking public so far. Here’s hoping we can spread our beer up north of the border soon!
Cheers.
