Barley Griffin
A mild, lightly hazy pale ale in the Australian mould and one of the two beers BentSpoke first put into cans. Ekuanot and Mosaic keep the aroma soft and fruity, with stone fruit and a touch of citrus rather than any hop punch. Traditional ale malt and wheat give a light biscuity sweetness and a slim body, and the bitterness stays low enough that the malt has the last word.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Barley Griffin
Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
