Originally released in 1987, under the name Summer Weizen, this incredibly popular but unpronounceable wheat beer was soon re-christened Redback. This rendition of Redback has been revamped for modern palates, traditional with a twist. Striking the balance between a sparkling Summer Ale and a Belgian Wheat Ale, our new Redback delivers a smoothly sessionable experience from start to finish. Aroma is floral with mandarin rind and underlying fruit, with a hint of hop spice and a slightly biscuity malt tone. Palate is creamy and soft, yet firm; balancing lovely lemon curd and ripe fruit notes to produce a well-balanced mild palate with high drinkability. Finishes bright and extremely fresh.

It's a smooth wheat beer. Not as good as the German wheat beers but quite enjoyable on a hot day
