Lobethal Bierhaus American Pale Ale




Bravo Lobethal Bierhaus. Folks we have here another World Class Australian micro brewery. This is the second of their stable that I've taken out on the track and both are winners.

Like the Pilsner, this is darker and cloudier than the normal make of its class. Almost like an ominous storm is brewing inside your glass. There are different beads of colour floating around inside, like you get with Chimay beers.

It's heavy and highly bitter with some sweet malty tones to it. It differs from the Pilsner in that it is thicker in flavour and less refreshing. Not as sessionable but great on it's own. Some of the better American Pale Ale's I've had are light and vibrant, whereas this is more grizzly.

If this American Pale Ale were a person it would be one of those dudes with the giant beards on the Gettysburg movie poster.

8.5/10
