The second beer I sampled from this Victorian brewery was a Pale Ale. The amber was solid, so I was expecting the same from the Pale.
My initial reaction is that it's somewhat enjoyable and makes you happy enough, but the whole affair is a bit low key with a touch of bitterness. Kind of like being at your mates shotgun wedding... when the bride is your ex.
The hops are tame, and the aftertaste is quite drawn out and strong. Maybe some people like this but I find it off balance. It's a Kanye style beer... nothing up top but plenty of junk in the trunk. I'm more of a T'n'A man.
It's also maybe a touch watery, which is odd for an ale like this.
6/10
