Matilda Bay Brewery ‘Alpha Pale Ale’ [WA]
Wednesday, July 8th, 2009
Matilda Bay Brewery has been producing Alpha Pale Ale under a style similar to the American Pale Ale for quite some time now.
It has a distinct hopped aroma, citrus dominant and austere bitterness. Pouring deep golden from the bottle chances are you’ll be taken back by the bitterness that arrives in a slow wave along with a grapefruit aroma. You may as well think you’ve had a bite of a grapefruit because it’s not too dissimilar. I’d err on the side of caution if you don’t like bitter beers and steal a sip from someone who knows this style and enjoys it. Definitely refreshing with a filling wholemeal bread mouth-feel. Good in summer after a long bike ride in the setting sun.
