James Squire Sundowner Lager (Sydney, NSW)
$18 a 6 pack
This appeared on the shelf next to my normal beer of choice, the ever enjoyable James Squire Amber . So naturally I took one for the team (I was thirsty, it barely touched the sides). The packaging looks great – the quasi handwritten label is very much in the vein of the Saint Clair Pioneer Block wines which I love.
Apparently there will only be 2500 cases of this produces, so get in quick if you want to try it.

A hoppy, golden Summer Ale, this had pronounced hop driven aromatics and a dry, hop driven palate. To tell you the truth, the hops where the most remarkable feature, after that it sort of fell away to a simple bitter finish. It’s quite drinkable, but also short and unremarkable. Back to good ole Amber I went.
Comment
I just saw this today, so I figured I might as well give it a try, I’m absolutely loving it, it reminds me a lot of Squire’s Golden Ale (or ‘pineapple beer’ as me and my mates call it because of it’s unique fruity flavour) just not as ostentatious in it’s fruitiness. This isn’t really a great thing in my opinion, and I don’t reckon I’ll be switching favourites any time soon, but seeing as it’s limited edition and all I might get another six pack or two before it runs out.
