Made by Barossa Valley Brewing, this is a tricky one... First of all i don't like the idea of using the words organic in the title of the beer. 'Organic' is very fashionable (it is also a great way to make anything from the earth, however i think it should be a little more subtle). Anyway, cynicism aside...
This is a rich, light amber beer. Beautiful texture and a fine, creamy head. Its full of fruit, apricot and hints of pineapple but they are soft and you still get the sense that this is a strong, tough beer. The sweet fruit hits the pallet straight of the bat and sends a rush of flavour. Its bitter with a hint of sour acid (this is a good thing).
The amber richness is very pilsner like, in fact its not unlike the James Squaire Pilsner but with out the finish.
This is where it comes apart a bit. The full flavour in the middle of my mouth does not have the length that i think a beer with this sort of intense flavour should have, it just doesn't have quite enough length for me. This is a small criticism, overall a really good beer. You could probably only manage a couple (good that they come in a 4 pack) of these in one session but its another great Australian beer... I'm so proud!
