TASTING NOTES
Two Mates Lovemore Hazy Pale, 375ml Can, ABV 4.6%
This one’s their number one seller for a reason! An opaque, sunny-yellow Pale Ale bursting with tropical and citrus notes, generously hopped, gently carbonated, and joyfully juicy!
Two Mates Dogspike Red XPA, 375ml Can, ABV 5.5%
A combination of the roast malt of an Amber Ale, and the hop forward burst of an XPA Notes of tropical fruit, stone fruit and pineapple compliment the grain bill to offer a balanced contrast.
Two Mates The Gangster West Coast IPA, 375ml Can, ABV 6.7%
A daring and bitter IPA which will attract the hop lovers. True to its style, this West Coast has a floral, fruity, citrus, and pine flavour palette. With a slight haze, medium body and smooth texture, it is highly drinkable. Be careful though, it comes in at an impressive 6.7%!
Two Mates West Coast Pilsner, 375ml Can, ABV 5.6%
West Coast Pilsner also referred to as California IPA by some, this relatively new unofficial style is somewhat of a departure from the old school American IPA of the 90’s and early 2000’s. The malt base is leaned down, and much more closely resembles that of a traditional lager. The hops however, are still the main event for this style. This WC Pilsner has Weyermann Bohemian Pilsner malt as a base alongside some Vienna malt for some grain/cracker influence and a touch of colour. In the brewhouse they have used Magnum for bittering alongside Perle and finished it with a liberal dosing of Czech Saaz. As for the dry hop, there is both Simcoe (citrus / grapefruit / pine) and NZ Nelson Sauvin (refined white wine / gooseberry) which are allowed to fully shine without much else in the way. Drinkability is high with a lot of hop flavour too, so it’s win/win.
