Perth Local

Tap to rate

A pale lager conceived as a tribute to the classic Australian style and made for Perth's dry heat. It is found mainly on tap in the city's pubs and no longer appears on the brewery's website. Galaxy is the defining hop, lending passionfruit, citrus and a hint of peach to an otherwise clean, restrained profile. The body is light, the finish crisp and refreshing. It was first released in 2016.
