I'm a 21 year old Melbournian, I work in a boutique brewery that's open to the public with the idea of choosing one of our numerous beers and brewing it yourself, Right down to the bottling. After a number of months of slowly learning the different characteristics of beers and their distinctive differences, I've decided to start at number 1 and work my way through the 'local tap-house's 100 hottest craft beers of 2010' with the hope that by the end of it I'll be able to tell the difference between an Indian pale ale and a Pilsner with 25grams of extra Saaz hops.

NUMBER 5
KOOINDA PALE ALE

On pourig from the bottle this beer was quite heady, and had a white gold, almost gold tinge to it. As a result it had a very strong, nice lacing to it .

The colour was a dark caramel, very cloudy and was incredibly enticing.

The aroma was a sweet, but subtle one, not as pronounced as some of the other pale ales that compete with the Kooinda Pale Ale.
The taste was not as attractive as the aroma, it was heavy, rich and very bitter, a lot of dark grains and/or malts made for a less than excellent pale ale. i was surprised with this take on a pale ale after the previous few, and was not its biggest fan.

Sorry Kooinda
