Lord Nelson Three Sheets Pale Ale

This Sydney brewer has brought a real classy pale ale to the market. The malt and hop combination is true to the craft brewers small batch spirit with true flavour and armour. The citrus nose is fruity and inviting and the hoppy finish is as you expect from australian beers of quality and proves that hops alone can make the flavour of a great pale ale. I loved the high head on the pour which allows crisp flavour and nose. This will figure prominently in my fridge during summer this year. score 9.5 out of 10.

The Duck's Australian Pale Ale

Matilda Bay has introduced an Australian Pale Ale to its range but I have one question, why? This beer is terrible! It tastes like the other slop offered by Carlton United Brewing at the pub. Drink this only if it's free and you are extremely desperate. There are plenty of beers offered by Australian Brewers that have flavour and substance. As a reviewer I try to present fine Australian and New Zealand beer for readers, but this has actually damaged the image of fine brewers everywhere. This is a shocker from a brewer I have accustomed to far better beer. Score 3 out of 10.

Break Water Australian Pale Ale

I was expecting great things from this beer by Gage Road Brewing but was sorely dissipointed. The taste is pleasant but underwhelming in hops and citrus notes that are without conviction and make no statement other than I am OK. Score 6 out of 10.
