Brewery: Working Title Brew Co
Origin: Australia
Style: IPA - Other
ABV: 8.5%

After a hiatus in 2024, we’re back with our annually biannual Pines beer. Letting spring sprung into early October, the pine tips were much more developed. We’ve reduced the base beer to 8.5%, using only pale and wheat malts, allowing the pine flavours to really shine. After ferment, fresh, 1 and 2 year old toasted pieces of timber were infused. Combining all we’ve learned about using pine from the last few years, we’ve come closer on a base framework that really promotes the unique flavours of native pine.

Herbal, sappy and woody, those really unique Australiana flavours dominate the aroma. Some subtle spices, with cardamom, mint and eucalyptus are also in the background. Flavours of pine, resin and vanilla through the mid palate. The finish is peppy, with some fresh tannin, woody bitterness and herbal spice that develops.
