The Tinnies brand is pretty much a personification of the word itself – it’s instantly recognisable, punchy and effortlessly casual (whilst still maintaining its credibility as a delicious product). Brewed in Melbourne by the masters at Brick Lane, this range of easy-drinking beers provides a perfect potion for your summer-time sessions, bringing a more casual aspect to the craft-beer scene. The bold, bright tin designs are another talking point, with Sydney street artist Alex Lehours behind the striking print on the Tropical XPA can. The Pale Ale represents the moving tides of the brewery pipelines, while the Session IPA visuals evoke the sensorial experience of drinking a delicious brew.
When it comes to flavour, the three Tinnies offerings showcase unique but classic profiles. The Tropical XPA is true to its name, giving off citrusy aroma of mango, lychee and pineapple with a crisp hoppy finish and low bitterness. The Session IPA brings forth flavours of citrus and pine with a punchy hop-driven finish and a decent amount of bitterness. Finally, the classic Pale Ale offers stonefruit, pine and citrus characters that perfectly balances its bitter and biscuit-y flavour profiles.
