| Two types of malted barley are used in West Coast Ale including a fair proportion of crystal barley. Cascade and Northern Brewer hops are used to make four separate hop additions to the boil to ensure that the right balance of aroma and bitterness is in this 5% ABV beer. An initial rich aroma of biscuity malt is complemented by the spicy character of the hop. The beer pours clear with an intense ruby-red / brown colour and a well developed head that produces a lace-work pattern on the glass as the beer is drunk. The beer is medium bodied, and smooth on the palate which is initially dominated by characteristic crystal malt flavours and then followed by a well balanced hop character in both aroma and a pleasant fruity, or spicy, hop palate. |

| Durban Pale Ale was inspired by the original IPA’s produced in Britain and then shipped to India for consumption by the soldiers and bureaucrats.Cascade hops provide bitterness, Challenger hops provide the crisp, fruity characteristic of the beer,which is complimented by a special strain of English ale yeast used to ferment the beer.
The beer is a light caramel colour, with an immediate blast of rich orange on the nose, a toffee character and just a hint of spice from the cascade hops. On the palate it is medium- to full-bodied, and the initial sweetness from the sheer amount of barley in this beer is balanced with solid and tangy hops and a gentle fruitiness with a dry after-taste.
