Anyhoo, todays offering is Fat Yak Pale Ale. I like my beers hoppy and malty, so this one rate right up there. It's from Matilday Bay Brewing (Why is it that so many of the great beers come from Fremantle? Might need to move over there! Although this one is brewed at The Garage, their Dandenong brewery. And did you know that their famous Redback is actually brewed at Cascade?)
Appearance: pale golden, almost bronze color with a 1 finger head that leaves some lacing on the glass. but soon recedes.
Aroma; floral/grassy hoppiness with touches of citrus and traces of malt.
Taste: Pretty much as per the aroma. There also seems to be a touch of tropical fruitiness. Clean flavor with a balance favoring the malt. There is some hop character here but the focus is more on the malt.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied and has some reasonable carbonation throughout most of the beer. The hop bitterness shows more as the sweetness fades and turn it turns dry.
Drinkability: No difficulty moving on to a second one.
Rating: 9/10
