Curly Lewis Clean Cut Lager

What’s the perfect beer to enjoy immediately after a dip in water lapping over the world-famous Bondi Beach? We're pretty sure the team at Curly Lewis would argue it’s their core range Clean Cut Lager; not only is it brewed within eyesight of the waves, it even comes in a can as blue as the ocean.

You don’t need to have worked up a thirst surfing in order to drink it but the brewery's flagship lager is all about refreshment and is very light on its feet. Indeed, the inclusion of rice in its malt make-up makes for a particularly crisp beer, in fact “ultra-crisp” was my first thought when I tried it. It’s also low in bitterness, has soft floral and light citrus notes, and pours with the kind of sparkling clarity that’s like watching sunset over the beach.

It also comes with a lovely backstory too, so if you catch head brewer Scotty at the bar...
