The James Squire range is about to be augmented, with One Fifty Lashes Pale Ale.
“One Fifty Lashes is a refreshing Australian-style cloudy pale ale with restrained bitterness and a clean, smooth finish. It’s an easier-drinking beer than others in the James Squire range and a familiar style that Australian beer drinkers will recognise. The use of malted wheat also adds to its refreshing character delivering a beer with a fruity nose and hints of passionfruit, grapefruit and citrus,”
I'm all for the evolution of the Aussie pale ale. In this instance it may be more aligned with the "Pacific Ale" direction, as per the fruity descriptors above.
Also of interest is whether it's based upon some previous releases, such as the Brewhouse-only Governor King Pale Ale. The Governor, however, had more honey and apple fruit notes, more in touch with the Cooper's pale ale genre than the Pacific Ale.
Released nationally on tap and in the bottle August 2011.
I can't say i am a huge fan of this brew. It does taste better on tap in my opinion, and sometimes there are some other variations of it ay the James Squire Brewery in Melbourne which are more tasty
