Supplier: Fraser's Fruit and Veg
Got this from a local produce shop a little while ago. It's a coalition brew from Nomads down in New South Wales, Australia, and Cigar City in Florida. It's a brown ale recipe using a British yeast strain, but the rest of it is local to Australasia; using Aus and NZ hops and flavouring it with local fruits - Riberries or Lilly Pilly fruits. I served this chilled.

Appearance: A dark colour with brown edges when held to the light. The head is a a slight tan colour and quite thick on pouring, but thins quite quickly.
Aroma: A few sweeter roasted notes coupled with some spicy fruit, quite a low level though.
Flavour: Some sweet roasted notes in the front, then some red berries and christmas spices.
Body: Thick in the front then becomes quite crisp and a little dry
Aftertaste: There is a little bit of a more cereal malt flavour along with a bitterness reminiscent of green fruit that dominates.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 4, quite nice and a little novel, but the dry and green notes make in not as pleasant as it could have been
Price Range: £2.75 for a 500ml bottle, a decent price but probably wouldn't get it again.
Food Pairings: Quite a simple dish of a baked sweet potato, as the sweetness and starchiness of the potato counteracting the dryness and greenness.
