Festive Ales

The silly season is well and truely underway! So, what better reason to get stuck into a few Festive Ales from some of Australia's best craft breweries.

Holgate Christmas Ale 8.5%
A Scottish wee heavy infused with ginger and aged on french oak.

Red Hill Christmas Ale 7.5%
A strong belgian ale that is deep orange in colour and posseses a big spicy hop aroma from Red Hill's own Hallertauer & Tettnanger hop varieties.

Red Oak Christmas Cheer 6.2%
Our tastings notes: Chocolate brown with a thin creamy head. Earthy nose, sweet spices, cinnamon, a little musty. Shows complexity. Palate is largely similar but just lacks the weight and intensity promised on the nose. Despite this a well built beer.
