Mid River
A mid-strength pale ale that leans on Vienna and Munich malts for a rich, bready malt character rarely found at 3.5 per cent. Hallertau Tradition, Spalt Select and Northern Brewer add crisp herbal and floral spice, while Mosaic and Citra put bright citrus and tropical fruit on top of them. Bitterness is moderate at 21 IBU and the finish stays dry. Named after the tavern Squire built on the Parramatta River in 1806.
