Beechworth Pale Ale

Saturday, September 8th, 2007

Beechworth Pale AleThis is a pretty complete beer. There’s a creamy, fine, fragrant head that lasts more than the usual and underneath there’s a slightly cloudy, rich amber coloured ale. A balance of sweet and bitter – hops and malt, it’s all there. There’s even a hint of a citrus in the aftertaste that keeps you coming back for more.
I find it a bit too much of an all rounder to get really excited, but this is a solid brew with no weak points. mmm – I’m off for another glass ;-) Oh! look at that head!

Little Creatures Bright Ale

Little Creatures Bright AleSuperb! I think I like this even better than their Pale Ale. There is still a hint of citrus, but it quickly transforms in the mouth to a satisfying blend of malt and hops with a fine bubble that doesn’t get in the way. The colour is a brilliant gold and clear as Russian amber – looks great in the glass, but the head did vanish rather quickly. Still, I’ll certainly forgive it that – and I’ll certainly buy this one again!
