TASTING NOTES

The Original Pacific Ale

The Original Pacific Ale is brewed with big tropical fruit aromas and flavours and pours with a golden haze. Inspired by our home on the edge of the Pacific Ocean, Pacific Ale truly is summer in a glass.

FOOD PAIRINGS

With its tropical aromas and flavours, Pacific Ale goes perfectly with those foods that remind you of summer. Think fish and chips and fresh seafood. Check out our recipe collection on our blog.

NOTES FROM THE BREWER: CAOLAN VAUGHAN

If you’re enjoying a Pacific Ale from a bottle or can, it’s always good to homogenise the beer before drinking. This motion helps rouse all the yeast and haze so that you end up with that perfect beer. Watch the video on How To Pour Our Pacific Ale.

Perfect for the moments where you come out of the water, sitting down on the beach with some fish and chips and a nice cold beer – match made in heaven.

THIS BEER IS A FORCE FOR GOOD

Did you know that we donate $1 for every 100L of beer sold to our inGrained Foundation? Through inGrained we support local-level social and environmental organisations who are changing our communities from the ground up. So just by drinking this beer, you’re helping Aus become that little bit gooder.

  • Easy Does It: The Final Chapter in Our Aussie Hop Series

    This is the third and final beer in our Aussie hop series.

    We’ve had our Hazy Pale.

    We’ve had our Big Pale.

    And now, we’ve got Easy Pale.

    A full flavoured, mid strength beer that’s been a long time coming.

    Built on Great Mates & Great Hops

    At the heart of this release is our long-standing relationship with Hop Products Australia (HPA), good mates of ours and some of the best hop growers in the country.

    Every time HPA drops something new, we’ve been lucky enough to get our hands on it early. To test it. Push it. See what it can really do in a beer.

    Easy Pale is no different.

    It brings together some of our favourite Aussie hops, Eclipse and Vic Secret, but what really makes this one special is a newer hop we’ve been quietly playing around with for years which was refered to as HPA 033.

    Now, it’s officially landed.

    It’s called Luna.

    Meet Luna

    Luna is everything we love about Australian hops dialled up.

    Big aroma, bright flavour, a proper standout - Think tropical fruit notes, mango and guava, with a gentle citrus lift that leans toward mandarin. It’s vibrant without being over the top, and it brings a balance that just works. It’s the kind of hop that makes you stop mid-sip and go, “yeah… that’s a good beer.”

    Full Flavour, Mid Strength

    We’ve always loved brewing pale ales, but we wanted to crack something that doesn’t always come easy, a proper mid strength that still delivers on flavour.

    At 3.5%, getting that balance right isn’t simple. It takes time, trial, and a fair bit of tinkering.

    Like all our beers, Easy Pale started as an experiment. Batch after batch, we worked to find that sweet spot, where you keep all the flavour and lose none of the drinkability, and we reckon we’ve nailed it. This is a beer that proves you don’t need to go big on alcohol to go big on taste.

    The Final Chapter

    Easy Pale marks the final release in our Aussie hop series. It’s a celebration of local ingredients, long-standing partnerships, and a few years of experimentation finally coming together in the glass, a full flavoured, mid strength pale ale.

    Built on some of the best hops Australia has to offer and made for those moments when you want to take it easy, but still drink something bloody good.
