Long Run

Tap to rate

A lager at 4.5 percent, introduced in 2024 as the upmarket member of the family and sold at first only in Queensland. It is brewed entirely with Australian barley. Bright golden in colour; the launch notes describe a subtle tropical hop and citrus aroma that carries lightly onto the palate. The finish is clean and crisp, with a restrained bitterness and a slight malt sweetness, somewhat fuller than the standard lager.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Long Run

◎ Appearance

A bright golden hue with excellent clarity, reflecting the beer's straightforward character. The head forms readily and clings to the glass with modest persistence, leaving clean trails of lacing as it recedes. Fine carbonation lifts the color without obscuring it.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with restrained tropical and citrus notes that speak to the noble hops without dominating. Beneath these lies a soft, clean maltiness from the Australian barley—neither grainy nor sweet, but present and grounding. The overall impression is subtle and inviting rather than assertive.

◐ Taste

The palate enters clean and crisp, with the tropical and citrus character from the aroma carrying through lightly. A gentle malt sweetness builds in the mid-palate, giving the beer a slightly fuller body than a standard Australian lager. Bitterness remains restrained and well-integrated, never harsh or lingering.
