Redback Original
Redback started life as a seasonal summer wheat beer and, under its present name, became Australia's first widely sold wheat beer. It is styled on the German weizen but filtered to a clear, bright gold. The yeast gives a fruity aroma with banana esters and a touch of clove, supported by a soft, bready wheat note. The body is creamy and generous, the bitterness low, and a light hop note freshens the finish.
