Matilda Bay Brewing Company

Golden Ale·Australia·4.2% ABV·One of 180 Golden Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Owl Original Ale's malty and spicy-hoppy character. Owl Original Ale was created by the Sexton family and took 27 test brews to settle. It sits between an Australian pale and a European golden ale, built on English Maris Otter, Australian pale and German specialty malts, hopped with East Kent Goldings and Styrian Goldings. It pours a pale, slightly cloudy gold. Biscuit and malt lead the nose with stone fruit and earthy hop spice; the palate adds toffee and caramel before a soft bitterness.
