The Commoner is undeniably a game day beer for those heading to or from the ground formerly known as Lang Park. Just down the road at Milton Common, the beer is poured directly and unfiltered from the bright tank, so has a slight golden haze to it.
There are some floral qualities on the nose – and little spice too – but nothing so overbearing it distracts from the fact this is a clean, crisp and drinkable beer. It’s joyous, familiar and, despite its name, there’s a decent chance this could also be the drink of Kings (Wally Lewis).
