If you want to look good drinking beer, this is the drop! Packaged with a great looking, understated label and a catchy name it follows through in the glass. Rich, cloudy, dark amber with a dense, creamy head that clings to the glass and hangs around for a while. This is a handsome looking beer!
With all that colour came a little too much burnt caramel for my liking – probably just means it’s not a summer beer. To counteract the caramel they’ve packed in a strong hops bitterness that does it’s best to balance the sweetness, but somehow gets in the way as the glass gets empty.
I last wrote about this beer back in April 2007, and I wasn’t terribly impressed then. I can only say they’ve been working on it, because I found this encounter a lot more enjoyable.

On my last visit to the purveyor of fine brews, I came away with two each of three different Red Hill varieties. Added to an earlier review of their 
Another one from Red Hill brewery, didn’t know what to expect from this.
This is a special beer. It comes at a special price and I’ve never seen it in my local bottle shops. My ever-loving-buddy brought it back for me specially after a short sojourn to Hobart which included a visit to the picturesque Cascade Brewery. Aint I the lucky one?
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 came highly recommended by a friend who apparently knew the manager of the brewery. For me, it promised a lot, but didn’t quite deliver. Not that this is a bad beer – it’s all there: the smells, flavours and colours; just not in quantities enough to break clear of the humdrum. It comes across with a whimper, not a bang – just a bit too clean.
