'Kosi', as it is affectionately known, is Australia's highest peak. While we aren't exactly famous for our mountains, given that the entire country is pretty much as flat as a Women's 200m freestyle gold medalist, it's still a bold claim to attach the moniker to anything. I reckon if you handed a Sherpa a stubby of 'Everest Ale' he'd be expecting some next level shit.
The beer pours a very pale yellow, with a hint of murkiness to it. The head looks pretty fluffy nonetheless. The taste... well it really is a touch boring. Mainly it tastes like grains and apples. It's more like a high fibre breakfast cereal than a beer. The aftertaste is only mildly bitter, and it's almost stepping slightly into cider territory. The one holding point to the beer is the body, which has a creamyness to it that is reinforced by the pronounced head that the beer carries.
It is grudgingly refreshing, but the flavours are a strange beast. There's not a lot there, and what you do get tends to leave you confused. This is a country mile behind the better Pale Ales that this country produces, so I really can't recommend it.
5.5/10
