Outsider

Tap to rate

Outsider is the house lager, built on Australian-grown malt and a mix of local and noble hop varieties. Six weeks of cold maturation give it a settled, rounded character rather than a sharp one. Bread crust and a light honeyed malt sweetness carry the palate, with a herbal, faintly floral hop note behind them and a touch of lemon zest. Carbonation is brisk, bitterness is low, and the finish comes dry and short.
