Amber fluid gets gold for brewer
BURLEIGH Brewing Company's liquid gold was rewarded at the World Beer Championships in Chicago earlier this month.
Their Hefeweizen known as “Hef” scored gold in the German Wheat Beer category, trumping wheat beer icons such as Paulaner, Hofbrauhaus and Spoetzl at their own game.
Brewmaster Brennan Fielding said the Hef was “murky pale amber olive grey in colour with aromas of banana bread toast and delicate nutmeg spiced pudding”.
“Plus it has a supple, frothy medium-to-full body and a long, well integrated finish with accents of melon rind, sprouts, and grass,” Mr Fielding said.
“That's why those in the know, insist on the mo.”
CEO Peta Fielding said it was a fantastic achievement for the team.
“As a company, we pride ourselves on producing consistently high-quality and great-tasting brews across our entire range, coupled with high-quality service and support.
“We are thrilled to be helping bring some excitement back to the beer category, in Queensland particularly.”
