Albo
A pale ale brewed with pale malt, wheat and naked oats and hopped with Cascade, Ella and Centennial. It pours pale straw with a light, dry and crisp body. The aroma shows pine, spice and floral notes with a touch of melon, and a light bready malt base sits under a light to medium bitterness. One of the brewery's earliest beers, it was named after the local member of parliament, Anthony Albanese, long before he became prime minister.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Albo
Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
