Doesn't it mention it on the board above the bar? I was there enjoying a few the other weekend, unfortunately it was a bucks night so thats about all I can remember!

I found this beer last night at East End Cellars, Adelaide and couldn't help but try it - partially out of curiosity as it doesn't mention style on the label, partially because the staff were of very little help, and partially because I'd already spent a good part of the evening on Fat Yak and couldn't resist the urge to try some more craft brew.
Lovely nose, great hop flavour, somewhat low on body, but not necessarily in a bad way. I couldn't think where to place it style wise - somewhere between an American Pale Ale and a Summer Ale, which I guess you could call Aussie Pale Ale. Would go great in the warmer months.
They also had the 'Old Admiral' but once again - no mention of style on the label. The response from the bar staff was 'it's a dark beer, but it's still fruity, not quite like a stout' which I took to mean they thought the only dark beers were stouts. Might have to give it a go sometime - anyone know what the style is?
The Couple of times I have been in the Lord I've found the beers to be served at around minus 3 degrees and chill hazed to absolute buggery. Maybe I lobbed up when the work experiece cellarman was on?
