Loosely based on the historical yet little seen Altbier style, Mends St eschews the traditional deep copper colour of the style in favour of something a little more climate appropriate – it's more summer in Perth than winter in Dusseldorf.
That said, the beer is all about the malt, specifically Munich malt. Its expression is redolent of bready characters tinged with biscuit and a subtle yeast profile. As with all of the beers in the opening range at Ogdens, drinkability is key here, even as there's a slice of brewing history in each for those that go looking for it.
