East Coast Ale, is our South African inspired beer. Most of the year ShongweniValley and the nearby City of Durban are bathed in warm, sub-tropical sunshine, but we do get the odd surprise from Summer storms that refresh the air and make the bush grow again. The people of this area are exciting, diverse and full of energy and optimism. We wanted to capture this spirit of the East Coast in our beer and we think we have. East Coast Ale is a lively, refreshing, smooth, golden ale. We make East Coast Ale using a single malt variety and two kinds of hops, Brewers Gold and Challenger. Brewers Gold provides an excellent balanced bitterness especially when combined with a late aroma hop in golden beers. We achieve this using Challenger hops to give a crisp, fruity character, resulting in a beer with around 25 bitterness units and an ABV of 4%. This beer is fermented using a special ale yeast that imparts its own character to the beer.

Bottle, at RBESG 2007 in Glasgow, Grand Tasting. Golden colour. Nice hoppy and spicy aroma. Hoppy and fruity flavour, a bit unbalanced. Still nice to know that the South Africans can brew better stuff than pale lagers.

Bottled. Golden colour, mediumsized small creamy head. Honey, lemon, butter and strawberries. Flavour is nicely bitter, honeyish and lemonish. Leaces a spicy aftertaste. Quite sweet overall.
