Fox Hat Lusty Lager

TASTING NOTES

A strong, hoppy lager, fermented cool and clean and hopped with a heavy hand. To the eye – A dense pure white head greets the eye. Golden orange and brilliant in clarity – lusty is a most attractive beer Up your nose – Breathe her in, she’s clean and fresh. Notes of apricot, melon and tropical fruit fill your nose, and hints of spice and cedar follow. In your mouth – her svelte malt body leads to seductive flavours. A lusty bitterness and clean crisp finish which belies her 6% alcohol.

BREWERY SNAPSHOT

Newly rebranded Vale Brewing (formerly McLaren Vale Beer Company) has let its head brewer Jeff Wright off the leash with the launch of a new brand Fox Hat Brewing. It’s the latest venture for the business established initially in 2008 as a brewing company based in South Australia but brewing under license interstate before building its own brewery in Willunga, in the heart of McLaren Vale.

DID YOU KNOW?

Fox Hat have recently completed a collaboration with Adelaide Hill’s brewery company Prancing Pony. It was decided, after many beers, that Prancing Pony’s India Red Ale would mix perfectly with the Fox Hat’s stout, and so it was, ending up as the Foxy Pony.
