NOTES
Monteith’s has been crafting its family of fine beers for nigh on 150 years, staying true to the authentic process and recipes of the classic beer styles we re-create. Renowned the world over, Monteith’s continues to produce beers that are made to exacting standards and capture the spirit of the world’s most famous beers and, in some cases, forgotten favourites that are all but forgotten.
The uniqueness of the beers we make is largely due to the combination of brewing process, ingredients and the approach of our brewers. All Monteith’s beers are batch brewed and slavishly adhere to the quirks and characteristics of original styles (with a little bit of ingenuity added for good measure).
MONTEITH’S ORIGINAL ALE TASTING NOTES
MONTEITH’S RICHLY HOPPED ORIGINAL ALE delivers a full, round and complete beer flavour. It’s the hops that dominate aroma and taste. However, on closer inspection, there’s a subtle blackberry aroma which originates from the female flowers of the Pacific Gem Hops.
Monteith’s Original Ale has a solid malty characteristic tending to the dark crystal malt range, with notes of caramel or burnt sugar. However, its key focus is extra bitterness, as the tradition of pale ales tends to be beers with significant hop characteristics.
Monteith’s brewers have been able to develop traditional yeasty fermentation characters and some fruity/berry-fruit notes to the aroma. The blend of these characteristics creates a balance that reflects the historic style of ‘pale ales’ ~ good body, complex ale fruitiness and a significant hoppy aftertaste.
Monteith’s beers are not pasteurised, which better preserves their natural, traditional flavours.
