Pale Ale

Pale Logo

Basic golden amber in colour with a balance between maltiness and fruitiness, very drinkable and great anytime. This is a smooth, refreshing golden brew with a very pleasing aroma. "Pale Ale" originated in India with the British Colonials in an attempt to brew a lighter beer that was appropriate for consumption in the tropics.

First brewed April, 1986.

Other contributions by the Colonials

What a clever bunch they were - the famous cocktail "Gin and Tonic" was made from Gin and Indian Tonic Water. One of the primary ingredients in Indian Tonic Water was quinine. This was a useful medicine in the prevention of malaria; the extremely bitter taste of tonic water was smoothed by the addition of Gin - and another tradition was born.
