Fat Yak Original Pale Ale is a distinctive beer brewed in the tradition of the North American pale ale style by the Matilda Bay Brewing Company, founded in 1984 in Fremantle, Western Australia. This brewery is considered one of the pioneers of the Australian craft beer movement and with this beer made the then little-known American pale ale style accessible to a wider Australian audience for the first time. Fat Yak initially impresses with its golden color and its unmistakable, hop-driven, fruity-herbaceous aromas, revealing characteristic notes of passion fruit and melon, followed by a pronounced hop hit in the finish that leaves the taste refreshingly clean on the tongue. A unique blend of hops added late in the brewing process, including the distinctive signature hops from the Yakima Valley, provides its fruity character and floral aromas. Fat Yak Original Pale Ale with 4.7% ABV is the perfect choice for anyone looking for a full-bodied, tropical-fruity, and easy-to-enjoy Australian pale ale that convinces as a sociable companion for barbecues and relaxed summer evenings as well as a pioneering classic that has significantly contributed to the emergence of the modern Australian craft beer scene.
