Very nice. Right up there with the best I’ve tasted. I’m delighted to see a pattern developing – I’ve already learned that the rich, cloudy ales are the ones I like the best, so this journey is already yielding results!

This is not as rich and balanced as the Little Creatures Pale Ale, but is a very refreshing drink – loaded with bitter citrus flavours, not at all cloying and sweet

They say: Rather a lot! I don’t wear glasses except for the really small stuff, but the fine print all over this label had me reaching for the specs. I can’t imagine many making the effort, but here’s some excerpts:

James Squire India Pale Ale is made with Munich and pale malt, so it brews to a rich, golden colour with a robust malty character. Its earthy, floral aromas and faint haze are a result of dry hopping with English Fuggles hops added generously to the maturation tanks.

I could go on… and on… and on – there’s plenty of reading material! Don’t let that put you off though, this is a very nice beer.

The bare facts:

Malt Shovel Brewery,
99 Pyrmont Bridge Road,
Camperdown, NSW 2050
