Yesterday I had a Squire Golden Ale at the Rose of Australia on Erskineville Road. Today I cracked my first bottle of Olden Gale. This is so close it's eerie. Colour, body, aroma, flavour...it's all there. The closest I've ever come to a genuine 'clone' of a commercial brew. (And for the price of three schooners at the Rose, I can brew 20 odd litres of this stuff!!)
