Vale Ale

TASTING NOTES

An Australian Pale Ale with a refreshing balance of malt, hops and yeast characters. Hop Additions of Amarillo and Cascade give a wonderful fresh crisp finish with lingering flavours of citrus, passionfruit and peaches. The hop flavours and aromas are matched beautifully with the sweet honey finish from crystal malt.

BREWERY SNAPSHOT

Founded as the McLaren Vale Beer Company in 2008, Vale Brewing kicked off contract brewing small runs of the original VALE ALE. They’ve since expanded their core range to include the LAGER, the IPA, the AMBER and the GOLDEN while getting creative with short batches of EXPs and Limited Editions along the way. Since installing their mighty brewing apparatus in Willunga back in 2012, they’ve had the brewing agility to get creative and take some chances. They took a punt on their first EXP (a creamy, seven-malt oatmeal stout if you’re keeping score) and haven’t looked back since.
