Matilda Bay Ruby Tuesday 4.7% ABV It’s well known that Brewery Manager Neil Whittorn’s Walkman only has Rolling Stones tapes in it. Recently they hooked it up to the sound system at the brewery and the first song was Ruby Tuesday. It all sort of just came together. Crafted with Hallertau Hersbrucker hops and four specialty malts - carared, melanodium, caramunich (crystal) and wheat this Amber Ale has biscuity and toffee malt flavours that linger on the front palate. The relative sweetness is perfectly balanced by a traditional ale yeast and hop combination. Availability: On tap, nationwide. Contact: CUB, www.matildabay.com.au
