Ekim Brewery - After Battle Pale Ale

I don't normally post about a particular beer, it's normally a mix of the pub and the beer that I drank... but the After Battle Pale Ale is such a special drink, I really feel the need to post about this beer.

What started with a scooner, quickly...

became a pint of this fine beer at the Quarrymans in Pyrmont

So it was a quick drink after work and I am having a real American Pale Ale phase - I don't know if it because I have a bit of a cold so I am looking for bigger flavoured beers but whatever the reason, drinking the Ekim After Battle Pale Ale was fantastic - it certainly destressed my day!

As you can see from the pictures, it is a golden coloured beer, decent body to it but not too heavy, and a huge citrusy passionfruit smell to it - honestly one of the nicest smelling beers I can think off... On Ekim's website (http://www.ekimbrewing.com.au/Ekim_Brewing/Beers_files/After%20Battle%20Pale%20Ale%20tasting%20notes%202014.pdf) it talks about a bitter finish, but I didn't find that to be honest, it was a more crisp, almost lager, finish with a hint of sourness there but not bitter.

Hmm beer... 

I have only recently come across Ekim, and I will definitely be on the look out for any of their beers in the future! [see my post on the Royal Albert where I tried their IPA] Great work guys...
