Newtowner
The house pale ale, built on Caramalt and pale malt and hopped with Cascade, Galaxy, Topaz and Vic Secret. Golden in the glass, it carries a fruity hop character with clear citrus notes over a full malt backbone, and closes with balanced bitterness and a dry, refreshing edge. At 4.8 per cent and 20 IBU it sits in the sessionable middle of the Australian pale ale field. Brewed in 2012 for the 150th birthday of Newtown's 2042 postcode.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Newtowner
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.
