Holgate Millennium Falcon Emperial IPA

TASTING NOTES

Pouring light straw gold in the glass, the subtle glow belies the 9% IPA within. The aroma is chock-full of super- ruity US hop aroma – think juicy pineapple, tart citrus, stone fruit, boiled lollies and bubblegum/lemon rind/peaches/ sappy pear. On the palate the fruity melange is underpinned by a bold, evergreen hop bitterness. Mouthfeel is full and luxurious yet at the same time dangerously drinkable.

BREWERY SNAPSHOT

Since start-up in 1999 in Paul and Natasha Holgate’s back-yard, Holgate Brewhouse brewing company has been producing genuine craft beer from the village of Woodend in Victoria. Brewed, bottled and kegged right there, their beers come straight to you from their family-owned brewery, which they’re stoked to have installed in the awesome 19th century red-brick Hotel in Woodend.
