I have just started to explore the Aussie world of beers and this was a great introduction to their boutique beers. Made in South Australia by a wine producer, you can see Enterprise Brewery takes great pride in the process. Light in colour and very hoppy on the palate at the start, the hoppy flavour gives way almost immediately. It was interesting as I took the first sip Tree Brewery's Hop Head came to mind, but then poof! It died right off and gave this more acidic citrus fruit flavour that was really refreshing.
They say they use special "Sauvin Hops" to give it characteristics of Sauvingnon Blanc. You can definitely see what they are going for. The citrus flavours are the big notes here. If nothing else, the beer is packed with flavour and I think it would be worthwhile to explore this beer more than once. To be completely honest, I was surprised all that taste could come from such a light beer: not what I am used to, but it certainly was a pleasant surprise.
I don't think I could have had more than a couple of them at a sitting as 1. they are expensive and 2. they are a rollercoaster of flavour that I am sure would diminish with more than a couple of them.
What a ride!
