HEFE 4.7%
The most fashionable brew with the youth in Germany in recent years is this style of beer – Hefeweizen: “hefe” meaning yeast and “weizen” meaning wheat. This brings us an unfiltered cloudy unique wheat beer, also becoming popular in Australia now. Flavours are dominated by the sharply fruity acidic notes deriving from the unique yeast strain used. The Hefe is a lively beer with smooth delicate banana like tartness and clovey spicyness. Bavarians call it a “breakfast beer” because it is light, cleansing and easy to digest. Bootleggers call it delicious!

RAGING BULL 7.1%
|
|
|
|
More often than not, most high alcoholic beers possess astringent spirity flavours, detracting from the other aspects of the beer. The reverse is true for the Raging Bull. At 7.1% alc./vol., the Bull begins with the intense malty flavours ranging from the crystal flavour and all its diversity to the coffee flavours of the roasted barley. A slight bitterness is apparent from the Pride of Ringwood hops but the main essence remains with the intense warming body structure. The Bull finishes with a resounding sweetness which, like chocolate, begs for another mouthful. A complete and full beer, Raging Bull is truly unique and possibly the most distinctive beer being produced in Australia today. Click title for more about awards.

SETTLERS PALE ALE 4.8%
|
|
|
|
West Australian barley and traces of wheat are blended to produce Bootleg's handcrafted, refreshingly fruity alternative to the commercial market whilst acknowledging the pioneers of the district. The use of bittering and aromatic hops provides citrus and melon aromas balancing the malt to finish with an appetisingly lemon bitterness. Deliciously food friendly.

SOU WEST WHEAT 4.7%
|
|
|
|
This Wheat beer is designed to appeal to a greater spectrum of people in that it has a low bitterness threshold and is relatively sweet. The hops used in the wheat are aromatic in nature (Hersbrucker & Willamette). This allows for gentle hop flavours to emanate rather than having a distinct bittering flavour. Coupled with this is a residual sweetness which combines with the grassy/floral hop flavours to form a beer that is well rounded, soft and pleasant on the palate.
PLEASE NOTE : Bottled Sou' West Wheat is bottle conditioned and contains yeast sediment – please store upright and is best to pour into a glass.

TOMS AMBER ALE 4.0%
|
|
|
|
Based on a traditional Australian amber ale the initial bitterness is quite distinctive however, not so overpowering that the other flavours are masked. The bitterness rounds off to reveal malty toasty flavours, offset and balances (due to the sweetness) the bite of Australian grown pride of ‘Ringwood' hops. Being profoundly malty in aroma, copper in colour and lightly carbonated makes this a pleasant ale for social occasions.

WILD GINGER WHEAT BEER 4.7%
Top fermented ale using 50% pale malting barley and 50% wheat with a twist to our traditional brewing techniques. Our inventive brewers have infused fresh West Australian grown ginger into this limited release. Other interesting facts about ginger are that its English name comes from the French term gingembre and the Medieval Latin word is gingiber. It is native to
India and
China and takes its name from the Sanskrit word ‘Stringa-vera’ which means ‘with a body like a horn’. It was also used in English taverns in ales to prevent the plague!
Thirst quenching, give it a try, it’s only on tap for February 2010! ON TAP ONLY!

WILS PILS 4.9%
|
|
|
|
Bootleg's premium beer, the Pils is designed to represent the true Pilsener style of the Czech Republic. Heavily hopped with imported Saaz and Hersbrucker hops, the Pils is not only distinctly bitter, it also displays an intense herbaceous bouquet imparted by the use of Saaz. The softness of the rainwater used in the beer creates a silky texture for which this style of beer is renowned and a dry clean finish. A true Pils (for the Pilsener enthusiast).
