Redoak's real English Ale is brewed with a very strong hoppy note and poured on our new hand pump. Enjoy the very old tradition of an english beer poured by hand. A new cask is opened on the 1st and 3rd Monday of every month and is available on tap until it runs out. Brewer Notes: The cask is brewed traditionally with the ale racked off into the cask before the end of fermentation with the final part of fermentation in the cask. It is conditioned for a period of time before the cask served at Redoak. We spear the cask and naturally vent it, allowing the beer to breathe and slowly oxidise, which imparts a nice sourness that is traditional to old cask conditioned real ales. It is then hand pumped with an English hand pump and served at 11 to 12 degrees Celsius, giving our customers the opportunity to taste the natural malt flavours, low carbonation and fresh hop aroma.

Only the second hand-pumped ale I've tried in Australia (after Braidwood Ales at the Royal Cricketers Arms in Prospect), it pours a dark honey-amber, with a frothy head that doesn't linger long, as you'd expect. It's room-temperature, which, even in Sydney in winter, is maybe a touch too tepid. No real dramas here... The nose is a marvellous muesli-mix.... grains, dried apricots... really, really fresh. Fresh hops in there too, and I mean fresh....you can smell green-ness.... Fairly still, with a fruity, floral, apricot taste, and the flavour of the hops.... Goldings I guess... A light body and finish. Although cask-conditioned, I didn't detect any sourness.... maybe they turn these casks over so frequently that the beer doesn't get the chance to age too much....
