Vale Ale

The beer with which the Vale project was launched (back when it was called McLaren Vale) - and for some years their only beer - is the epitome of a gateway beer, designed to entice drinkers away from the mainstream.

An approachable Australian pale ale that combines light tropical and citrus fruit hop aromas with sweet malt flavours and a gentle bitterness, it clearly set out the brewing company's stall as one with mass appeal in mind.
