This is a clone of it: pale, dry, and cleanly bitter, brewed to sit somewhere between a lager and an ale the way the original does.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt pours very pale with firm carbonation and a lean body around 5.5%. The hopping is old-school and earthy rather than citrusy, dry enough to earn the word bitter on the label without ever turning aggressive. A hot-climate lawnmower beer with a cult following at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's In The Kit\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eYour Australian Sparkling Ale recipe kit includes everything below, portioned and ready to brew.
