10. Pasteurised? certainly not
11. Anything else about the beer that makes it unique? Rye malt for seasonal flavour with a nucleus of all Australian hops: with particular focus on Topaz – this is the first time we’ve brewed with it and it’s good! The brewers want more…….
12. The beer – in a nutshell: Normally a brown ale is a malty type of beer with little hop character. In this one we have some new world attitude thrown in to create a brown ale with the signature Little Creatures hop kick – perfection for Autumn….. lots of hops, lots of malt – a little bit toasty, a little bit roasty.
