Coldie

Australia·Mid-Strength Lager
Tap to rate

Coldie is the mid-strength of the range, brewed with Australian ingredients and hopped with Enigma and Cascade. Those two give a light citrus and berry lift over a pale malt base that stays clean and cracker-dry. There is little bitterness and no complexity on offer here; the beer is built for the backyard and the barbecue at 3.5 percent.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Coldie

◎ Appearance

Coldie presents a pale golden hue with exceptional clarity and bright translucence. The head forms with moderate density and settles to a thin, persistent ring that clings steadily to the glass. Carbonation is lively and fine, rising in delicate streams throughout the body.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with restrained citrus notes from Cascade, accompanied by subtle berry undertones from Enigma. A clean, pale malt base provides gentle cereal support without imposing heaviness. No hop aggression or oxidative notes intrude; the overall character remains delicate and inviting.

◐ Taste

The palate enters dry and crisp, with light citrus flavours melding into a berry-tinged mid-section that remains soft and approachable. The pale malt backbone stays transparent, allowing hop character to speak without overwhelming. Bitterness is kept to a minimum, and the finish dries cleanly without astringency.

◑ Finish

The finish is short and clean, fading gracefully into a dry, mineral-like aftertaste. No lingering harshness or excessive complexity; the beer exits the palate as it arrived—refreshing and undemanding.
