Here we have a Pale Ale from South Australia sporting a pair of scotty dogs' heads on the label. It's looks a bit cheap and dated, and I probably never would have tried it had it not been for this challenge. Which would have been a shame. Golden Paw is also taking a 'hybrid' style approach to its brewing process. It's an American Style golden ale, that is fermented with Lager yeast. And you can definately tell.
It has a thick, heavy hoppy flavour to it with a dry, bitter finish. It's almost like a meal this beer, it's a cloudy, heavy, full flavoured affair. It's great going back to beers like this after having to fumble around with some of the mainstream beers earlier to bulk up the numbers. This isn't a world beating beer, but it's just more towards how a beer should be brewed in my eyes. Keeping its roots in tradition, but modernising itself with a creative approach.
While it's not as polished as some others, I do like the cut of it's jib.
8/10
