Based on the blurb on the bottle these guys are acting like they are world famous international beer merchants sailing from port to port discovering the flavours and spices of the new world, and thus have developed this astonishing beverage. It states numerous times that it is 'imported from Hawthorn'.
I live in Elsternwick so the wonder is lost on me a bit.
I prefer brewers to have a bit of fun with their labelling rather than chest beating, but in the end it's all irrelevant, let's just drink the beer inside.
These guys have come up with a decent Pale Ale. It has a smooth texture to it's flavour that also carries a fairly bitter aftertaste. It claims to be a 'unique pale ale', I wouldn't go too far as to say it's unique, it is similar to a lot of other Victorian Pale Ales but it does a very good job of it.
Better in a glass than a bottle, it's close to an 8 but it's not as bursting with flavour as some others around that mark so it just falls short. Solid effort though.
7.5/10
