Murray's Nirvana Pale Ale (15/20)
This could well be Australia’s best APA / Pale ale style (yep IMHO better than Little C). Darkish amber in colour with a persistent head, albeit it quite thin in texture. Classy hop treatment evident on the nose, and is underpinned with some nice malt sweetness. Hops again come to the fore to taste; herbal, vegetal, nettles, medium strength bitterness - all happening in a very well balanced and controlled fashion. I don’t pick up much malt character through the palate but the hop action just goes and goes on the finish. Good stuff.
Murray's Sassy Blond (10/20)
Pours slightly weird; fizzy soft drink like with massive bubble action through the body and a thick head (think creamy soda). Nose shows spice, pepper and a touch of citrus. Light weight and elegant. Flavours are very good early with plenty of sweet malts and more spice but the palate weight falls away at an alarming pace. Malt flavours thin out considerably and there’s not much left at the finish apart from a very mild hop note.

Will you be stocking those beers at Cloudwine?

Doing my best Anton. Murray sent me a slab of samples of the Blond and the NPA....that's never happened before so I guess he's keen for me to sell the beer. I have put through an order so hopefully the beer will be shipped shortly. I'll list them on the New Releases page when they arive.

Thanks for the reply. That is actually quite good strategy for the promotion, from the retailer perception of course, who wouldn't say no to free (good) beer?
All retailers (apart from the online shop) for this brewery are only in NSW which can be frustrating so I am happy to hear the orders. Cheers
