Alpha Pale Ale

Post by Wimmig »

Tried a 1L hit of the famed Alpha Pale Ale at the Woolloomooloo Ale & Steakhouse.

Best $14 i ever spent. A sensational product with a real citrus underlying flavour. Fantastic upfront appreciation with a slowly depleting palate.

Will be going back for more!

Premium prices, premium quality. If you want to live on the high life, on a low budget, let me know and i'll fix you up with a big establishment to enjoy @ cost.

I shared one of these with the bloke from our local bottleshop this morning (!). I must say I was disappointed. It was a pleasant enough beer, but it was not at all bitter. I was expecting a quite bitter, almost India Pale Ale style, but was confronted with a fairly malty, yet not very bitter, ale. It is a lovely colour though.

He had some of the new James Squire beer, Hop Thief Ale. Unfortunately it wasn't cold. I can't wait to try it.

Cheers,

Oliver
