Seems to be a new microbrewery that's popped up in the inner-west just recently. Here's their website:

I was pleasantly surprised to see that my work's local is now serving Balmain Pale Ale on tap and decided to give it a go. Now im no connoisseur like some of you guys, so giving my best shot at describing this beer; Almost dark copper in colour, at the dark end of the spectrum for a pale ale. A strong malty bite, mild on flavour but definite aroma hit with a profound bitter aftertaste, almost bordering on an IPA so far as bitterness is concerned - In my opinion. I dont think it's so much of a session beer but very, very much suited as a cool weather quaffer.
8/10
A very promising start. I'll be looking forward to see what else comes out of this brewery. :icon_cheers:
