James Squire Golden AleWe’d be drawing a rather long bow to claim that James Squire ever made a Golden Ale. Often thought of as an English-style summer brew, this type demands cold fermentation; requiring either the chill winters of Europe, or mechanical refrigeration – which didn’t exist in 18th century Australia. (In fact, tight up until the late 1800’s, even the Colony’s ice was imported: cut in blocks from the frozen lakes of North America, packed in straw in the empty holds of returning wool and grain clipper ships.). But had Mr. Squire ever met Mr. Westinghouse, he would’ve been shrewd enough to deduce: “Hmm…hot country…thirsty colonists…a lighter, more quenching ale style”. (Think ale taste, lager lightness). And Mr. Squire would almost certainly have employed the same quality and integrity as we do now in his name. That is, no less than four top-grade malts, a premium ale yeast and extended cold conditioning followed by timely transportation to hostelries at its most fresh.
TASTING NOTES:
Fresh toasted grains of barley and wheat give it a rich orange-amber colour, whilst new season Amarillo hops provide a tropical/stone fruit aroma and restrained, bitter finish. With a very approachable alcohol level, mild carbonation, firm head and dry, cracking finish this is an ideal thirst-slaking session beer.

| This ale is absolutely marvellous, not only is it one of the best in Australia, it would have to be one of the best on the planet, so refreshing and tasty, especially if you have it on a hot summers day.

| This is definitely one of the finest ales in Australia. The colour is not golden, but an almost copperish hue. Aroma is Hoppy with hints of stone-fruit. The taste is refreshing, with pleasant and vibrant undertones of malt, hops and burnt toffee. The alcohol is discreetly hidden. Not overly carbonated and not a large head, could be enjoyed at any time of year. Around $18 for 6 pack. Well done MSB, a true winner!

| No idea when the above poster had his tongue removed, this is my favourite beer. At $15 dollars for a six pack too. This beer is very light and refreshing, with an unusual amount of flavour for an ale. Extremely easy to drink.

| Very ordinary beer, Will not drink again. Has no distinctive flavour and is just plain old boring.
