Originally released in 1987, as Summer Weizen, this incredibly popular mouthful was soon re-named, ‘Redback’ – making it far easier to order down at your local. Our latest rendition, ‘Redback Summer’ has been reimagined to suit modern palates, striking the perfect balance between a Belgian Wheat Ale and a sparkling Summer Ale. This irresistibly refreshing twist on a West Aussie classic delivers a truly pleasurable experience from start to finish.
Matilda Bay Brewery kick-started the Australian craft beer revolution in 1983, with Phil and a couple of mates cobbling together all their savings, brewing the beers they wanted to drink, and building the pubs they wanted to drink them in.
Fast forward to today, Matilda Bay are back to brew naturally great quality beer. We’re remastering some of our greatest hits – beers brewed to stand the test of time – and creating some new ones too. Finally, a sequel that lives up to the original!
Bursting with the bright and juicy aromas of mandarin rind and floral spice, a subtle hop zing and moreish biscuity malts. This brew is smooth on the palate, balancing zesty lemon curd with earthy fruit notes to produce a well-balanced and irresistibly refreshing beer.
Pair Redback Summer with light and fresh dishes so characteristic of our Aussie summers: fish carpaccio, prawns, lobster and Morton Bay bugs. Also goes perfectly with easy Italian dishes: risottos or tagliolini with herbs & fresh cheeses.
