Beer Bacchus Queensland Ale

As the owners of Bacchus are Brits who moved to Queensland, it seems appropriate that Bacchus would make an English-style summer ale with Queensland malts, then add macadamia honey and wattleseed for a bit of local flavour. Galaxy hops bring lovely passionfruit aromas that translate to gentle flavours in the first sip. A punch of bitterness is tempered by sweet honey flavour, and also a nuttiness that fills the mouth in what's become one of the brewery's flagship beers.

It's also Bacchus’ biggest selling beer and, in the Queensland climate, it’s not hard to understand why. After all, a genuinely tasty Queensland ale is worth more than gold.
