0

Bottled from the heart of the city, Sydney Brewery is dedicated to creating the best craft beers in Australia. Brewed lovingly by hand in small batches, each variant is designed to epitomise the local style, personality and people of the suburbs that make this city great.

Style: IPA     ABV: 6.5%

Tasting notes from the brewer: Crafted with 5 varieties of U.S hops, a bitter spiciness of pine and savoury malt presents itself as a beautiful dark amber, perfectly balanced with a sweet, fruitful aroma. An odd mixture…but would you have it any other way?

"Rye the hell not?"

My in-laws live in Pyrmont and, like them, Sydney Brewery’s Rye IPA is as fruity as it is bitter. It is a cloudy, rusty coloured brew with plenty of sediment. Full of big, bold flavours it has a nice balance of citrusy hop aromas with an even bitterness that’s not too overpowering. I could happily knock back a few more of these and hope to do just that in the very near future.

Would I buy it again?
Definitely. I’ll swing by the brewery next time I’m in town.

"Rye like it."
I was really hoping the bitterness in this Indian Pale Ale wouldn’t hit me for six and luckily for me, it didn’t.

The real winner in this brew is the subtle undertones it holds. It has dash of fruitiness, a hint of pine and every now and then I got a taste of honey.

There are a lot of flavours in there and the brewers have managed to balance them really well. I find it unfortunate when a beer has good subtle undertones but the bitterness over powers it.

Would I buy it again?
Yes, as winter approaches this beer would be very comforting on a cold rainy night.

"Cloudy with a chance of deliciousness."

This brew poured an amber haze with a cloud of sediment that at first, I wasn't sold on. Then I copped a whiff and my senses felt all kinds of giddy. I love hoppy beers and this one was a delicious combination of sweet cirtus tones and spicy peperry goodness. Then, to top it all off, the bitterness only lasted a few seconds, just the way I like it. Kudos Sydney Brewery, this one is a winner.

Would I buy it again?
100%.

“It tastes like pickled Vegemite.”

As a fan of plain beers, this was simply not for me. It was murky and full of flotsam; in truth I would rather watch Twilight while listening to Nickelback and sending fan mail to Scott Stapp from Creed than drink any more of this beer.

To me, this wasn’t necessarily bitter so much as it is sour... like an orange Warhead.

Would I buy it again?
Pass.
