Beer Radar for TWTW 11th<\/sup> October 2013<\/p>\n

By John Kr\u00fcger<\/p>\n

Two new beers have popped up on the radar and they\u2019ll certainly get a hammering over the warmer weather.<\/p>\n

The first is a new beer from Pikes<\/strong> in Clare. They already have a very drinkable stout and a cracker of a floral hoppy pilsener. Now they\u2019ve added a Sparkling Ale to their line up. It\u2019s a nice middle of the road beer, which could be sipped on a cool night or enjoyed by the pint on a warm day. It has a nice malty dry biscuit flavour and a lingering bitterness. It\u2019s a medium bodied, nicely balanced ale with a clean yeast profile. It\u2019s already available at multiple venues including the Kings Hotel in Adelaide as well as Leftbank Melbourne and Vic on the Park in Sydney.<\/p>\n

The second new beer is from Mismatch<\/strong> Brewing Co. Aptly named Ewan Brewerton is heading up a small proactive group of \u201cgypsy brewers\u201d who have released their first beer, Archie\u2019s Red Ale. It reminds me of a Little Creatures creation, it\u2019s very well balanced. It leans slightly on the sweeter side but chock full of citrus hop flavour, complex malt character and mouth feel. It\u2019s quite a big beer on the flavour delivery while still weighing in at only 5%abv. Giving credit where credit is due; Ewan insists on transparency to the point of even naming where the beer was brewed and ingredients used in press-releases. Archie\u2019s Red Ale isn\u2019t available outside of South Australia just yet, but inside SA they\u2019ve done a great job getting it in all the cool bars like Udaberri and beer friendly bottle shops like The Highway hotel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
