Tooheys Pale ale

[madpierre06]

Old school label design and packaging tributed to originators. Am interested in giving this a try.

I heard that Tooheys where bringing out a Pale Ale

 

[Mikedub]

[SIZE=11.5pt]Golden amber in appearance, Tooheys Darling Pale Ale delivers a fruity hop aroma and mild bitterness brought on by a unique blend of three hop varieties. Malted barley and wheat combine to provide balance and a delicate malt backbone.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11.5pt]Tooheys Brewery Director, Mark Toomey said: “Tooheys’ mission is to brew easy drinking beers for every taste. We know that our adult drinkers have an evolving palate, so we are committed to innovation and providing greater choice that suits more occasions, just like the Tooheys brothers did back in the 1870s.”[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11.5pt]While attributing the name to a historical site, I wonder if they considered the pressures this will place on a bloke already struggling to move on from Tooheys new [/SIZE]

With a "non-challenging flavour"; sounds like they are trying to keep their usual market.

See, I can drink "craft" beer, too; without the strange aroma and taste that small breweries call flavour. I only need a stick on beard, wear my sister's jeans and take the gear lever off my bike, then I will be a non-challenging Hipster

Merged 2 threads on the same topic.

I'm interested enough to give this a try, but yeah the "non-challenging flavour" hasn't got me holding my breath. Actually called into Dan's last night to see if they had a six pack but couldn't see it. Grabbed a four pack of Innis & Gunn Original Oak Aged Beer instead as I hadn't tried it. Very interesting beer.

 

[mje1980]

I reckon it'll be ****.

Have seen this at a few independent bottleshops, but Dans are due to get it shortly. I would not be surprised if it becomes one of the monthly $10 six packs at some point.

 

[Dazzbrew]

I reckon it'll be ****.

yes but it will definitely be better than new.

Give them credit for trying something different. If we label everything as bad, we will develop a very negative world view, and wouldn't be a nice place to live in.

"Non challenging flavour" is an interesting description (and I dont know if that is even a positive description), but when tasting it you will have to taste it as though someone has poured it into your glass without you knowing who has brewed it.

Otherwise, the exercise will be overly subjective and be no different to those that only drink VB or some other mainstream pub beer, and don't give other beers that may present them with some challenging flavour a fair go.

When I first saw these on the shelf, I thought it may have been an old Tooheys beer that had been resurrected.

I would love to have tasted the original 'Tooheys Old'. I bet it is a very different drop to the modern one, but with all the modern processes and refridgeration, would it have been better/worse, and just a completely different dark beer?

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

Had a few Coopers Mild's in the pub after work today...I knew it was getting to the bottom of the keg as it was getting real thick and muddy...

I dont often get to drink the last few Schooners of a Coopers keg, But I enjoy it when I do


I wonder if this new ale is really an Ale...or just an ale

Old is supposed to be brewed with an Ale yeast

I do know that JWM do a special Choc Malt at there malting plant in Tamworth. And is not available to anyone else.

I was even given about 2kg of the EXACT Tooheys Old malt....No I wont answer questions about how I got it.

Tony designed a recipe using POR and it was bang on....almost scary it was close..

I still like drinking Old B)

Sorry, I'll rephrase

I'm positive it'll be ****

WELL I SUPPOSE UNTIL YOU DRINK IT YOU WILL NEVER KNOW it's all in the palate of who ever drinks it .
I have not even seen it let alone tasted it so the jury is out I reckon
they might reckon what you brew is ****

 

[tugger]

It's good.
Nice mild hoppy flavour. Malty base, really easy to drink.
Paid 16 bucks at the local for a 6 pack.

 

[panzerd18]

lol

 

[4KingAle]

With a description like that it sounds as thought they were dragged kicking and screaming in to brewing a "craft beer"
Well the markets grown by 18%..... We better put something out!

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

There has been some subtle re-branding of Tohheys Old..

It has been seen as Tooheys Old Dark Ale..

Now I wonder why the added the "Darke Ale" bit......its not like there is Coopers Dark Ale out there on Tap

 

[///]

Sorry, I'll rephrase

I'm positive it'll be ****

Had it, i can confirm *****-ness

 

[panspermian]

Saves me the pain.
Was told $22 for a six pack of sheaf, but $16 for three long necks.
Of course I went the long necks.
Wife's asleep, on the gin and peach ice tea cordial and mineral waters now.......

 

[GABBA110360]

yes it's on tap at the golfy I had a schooy and was less than impressed slightly malty and fairly bland would be my description
drinkable but someone else would be paying

 

[yum beer]

The real deal is actually worse than I expected.

No fizz, no smell.......Taste's like a New with the sugar replaced with grain....its a bit maltier and tastes the same with a small amount of probably galaxy and summer/something equally low alpha waved somewhere in the vicinity of the boil kettle.
Not terrible but not much better.

Crap name....crap drink.
Will probably achieve exactly what they intend it to do.......convince the vast majority of swill drinkers that craft beer is really just marketing and isn't any better than the beautiful drop they drink by the gallon normally.
Much more dollars have gone into marketing than product creation.
Same as the Old rebranding....marketing ******** aimed at ( perceived ) brain dead consumers....**** you Lion.....

 

[TheWiggman]

Full credit to them that they are still using original Tooheys bottles and sticking to 375ml. I'm hating the 33cl 'revolution'.
I will try it if I come across it and approach it with a null hypothesis. New is a beer that I really don't enjoy but I'm fond of one or two of the other mainstream lagers. Haters be damned.

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

How else are they going Tooheys swill drinkers to go for an Ale.....None of them would touch a Coopers Pale Ale....


Its not like Toohey's Pale Ale is a gimmick.... I mean really....

 

[Kingy]

Im not a swill drinker at all and im not a light beer drinker. But i dont mind a tooheys blue can when i visit my old man. Its actually a nice beer. Don't care what any one says. Dad reckons there hard to get to a bit pricier. Ill give this pale ale a sample when i come across it and make up my own mind but not holding my breath. Hard to beat coopers pale Ale at 45 a slab.

Hellooo hangover, I used to drink Tooheys extra dry a fair bit but kept getting radical headaches the next morning. Had to give it a rest-haven't had more than one at a time for years.

VB and New both give me banging hangovers. Coopers.....apart from being a bit lethargic, not a problem after a big session.

Interestingly, Tooheys Old doesnt give me much of a hangover....

They are calling it an Ale, both the pale and old, but from what I understand old is a lager. Do we know if the pale is an actual ale?
