Coldstream Brewery Australian Pale Ale

So broad is the pale ale style today that brewers have a blank canvas when it comes to brewing beers that wear the title (and that’s before you even start talking about XPAs, session IPAs, summer ales...). For Coldstream, the brewery seems to have mostly looked towards England for inspiration for their Australian Ale.

It’s darker than many modern American interpretations you’ll find, with soft floral hop notes sitting atop a rich and slightly nutty malt base that’s supported by a decent bitterness.
