Mid-strength hazy punches WELL above its weight

Our resident beer writer (best job in the world, right?!) has sipped his way through everything from Emu Export to Barrel-Aged Imperial Porters.

Trying out this week’s sip, Simon Collins gives his verdict on the Tinnie of the Week and whether it’s worth cracking one with a mate.

BEER NAME?

Royal Standard

WHERE’S IT FROM?

This mid-strength hazy pale was brewed at Beerfarm just off the Bussell Highway n Metricup in collaboration with Perth pubs The Royal and The Standard, hence the name.

Beerfarm is one of WA’s top craft breweries, best known of late for their brilliant Royal Haze, superbly hopped-up India Pale Lager and innovative Native Series with Indigenous tucker pop-up diners Fervor.

Royal Standard joins Beerfarm’s impressive hazy family, which also includes the super-tasty Big Hazy double India pale ale.

WHAT’S SO SPECIAL ABOUT IT?

Brewed in collaboration with Perth pubs The Royal and The Standard, this mid-strength hazy pale lowers the booze of Beerfarm’s chart-topping Royal Haze without sacrificing too much flavour.

In fact, this 3.5 per cent summer crusher punches well above its weight with big citrus, pine, melon and tropical fruit notes.
