Amid a lineup of beers that tends towards dry and hoppy, it’s always a pleasure to find an amber ale in the mix. Like a piece of fossilised resin on a stark Baltic beach, the beer’s malty sweetness is a counterpoint to all those lean beers that find themselves at home in sub-tropical Brisbane.
Brewed as part of the venue’s ANZAC Day commemorations, Bravo Brewhouse’s Golden Amber Ale takes its malt profile up a notch with the addition of golden syrup. The beer pours an inviting light copper and on the nose it’s a chorus of citrus and caramel notes. There is a warmth to this one with a decent malt backbone and slight toffee sweetness.
