The one hop forward ale in Hepburn Springs' core range is their Pale Ale, which takes inspiration from the classic American pales that helped drive the growth of craft beer in the US that in turn helped drive the rise globally. That said, it achieves its goal with Aussie hops Galaxy and Ella.
At 4.8 percent ABV, it's practically a non-alcoholic offering by Nick Galik's standards, and looks lovely in the glass with its white lacing. Citrus and light caramel are equal partners in this enterprise, with a crisp bitterness that still allows for some lingering hop-oily citrus flavours in a nicely-done traditional APA.
