HIX PILSENER

                                         

 A German style pilsener made using a combination of Australian and imported pale, malted grains.
This produces subtle aromas and flavours of bready malt, or cracker-like taste. The German hops provide the element of bitterness and floral flavours. That, combined with high carbonation makes this beer a drink for any occasion.

HIX LAGER

Vienna Lager is a style made famous in the late 19th Century. It is a beer noted for its soft toasted malt flavours which are very obvious in the aroma.
Hints of caramel are evident but not overwhelming. A crisp hop driven finish makes this beer a real crowd pleaser for connoisseur and novice alike. Brewed in the lager method (cold fermentation), which gives this beer a lovely clean palate, making you want to return again and again!

HIX BROWN ALE

Brown ale is a style of beer made with a dark or brown malt.
The term ‘brown’ beer was first used by London brewers in the late 1600s. Beers termed ‘brown ale’ include sweet, low alcohol beers, malty and hoppy beers.
Jaffa like chocolate flavour, with a slight citrus accent and an aroma, bitterness, and body derived from the American varieties of hops. They range from deep amber to brown in colour. Caramel and chocolate flavours are evident, due to the roasted malt.

HIX IRISH STOUT

In comparison to its more bitter and heavier Guinness, the underdog Murphy’s is a lighter and sweeter dry stout. Its flavour is evocative of caramel and malt, and can be described as “a distant relative of chocolate milk”. The resemblance to milk extends beyond flavour to texture; Murphy’s is free from any hint of carbonation, and is delivered “black as strong cappuccino” with an inch of foam – “the head” – on top. The head, in particular, is lauded for its remarkably thick and creamy nature and its “spoonable” density.
