"Beer Review -Pepperjack"

Today, I would be reviewing Pepperjack. Pepperjack is unique hand crafted ale that comes from Barossa Valley and is brewed and bottled in South Australia. This ale is sold at most well-known alcohol stores around Australia and retails for around $18 for a six-pack or alternatively $60 for a carton. This beer is very unique since it uses the Barossa Valley’s own shiraz.

Appearance
Pepperjack pours a beautiful cloudy, teak colour with very little lacing and a non-existent head.  Visibly this beer has a decent amount of carbonation. 

Smell
It has a sweet, floral aroma that is dominated by the fruity, grape shiraz.

Taste
There is a definite fruity hops note to it which is nicely balanced by roasted malt flavours.  Now considering this beer is brewed by well-established winemakers, it is an exceptional product and Saltram Wine Estate should be commended.

Drinkability
I found that the floral aroma and fruity tastes and smells allow me to continuously drink this Pepperjack without any hesitations. One of my friends had 12bottles but he still liked it.

So if you’d like to experience the Barossa Valley, then why don’t you check out this Barossa shiraz infused brew.  I promise you would like it and wont forget it.
