Bluetongue Vintage Ale is a celebration of the art of brewing. It is a traditional strong ale made using pure Hunter water, four distinct malts, three hop additions, and traditional ale yeast.

It is bottle conditioned and has had extensive cellaring. This provides a beer that has both character and complexity, but is also smooth and satisfying.

A 660ml bottle forces you to believe this is something special versus the usual suspects in the fridge. Its clearly a 'desired' brew right down to the 'wax seal' on the crown top of the bottle. It is described as a traditional strong ale and Bluetongue are very close to the mark. A strong malty aroma floats from a creamy head with hints of hops too. The flavour is a very full flavoured Ale. It hits you with a strong forceful flavour that leaves a malty & hoppy aftertaste. The complex combination of the malts and hops used create a wonderful flavour that is the leader of the Bluetongue offerings. If you are looking for a well rounded strong ale I suggest you try this. It is possibly the finest offering the Hunter Valley has produced to date.
