Cosmo Brewing's Fresh Hop Pale Ale is now pouring at El Guapo Cantina, and has been produced using malt and hops sourced by two suppliers in the NSW Riverina region.

Brewer Ian Carman said the pale ale will also be pouring at this weekend's Royal Bathurst Show, an event that prides itself on showcasing local producers.

"We're calling this beer a 'SMaSH' beer, which stands for single malt and single hop, and its brewed using the award-winning veloria malt from Voyager Craft Malt," Mr Carman said.

"But the real star of the show is the single cascade hop variety from Ryefield Hops, which gives the beer its fresh, zesty aroma with hints of lime and orange blossom."

Given the timing of the beer's release [around Anzac Day], Mr Carman said the brew has a unique flavour not too dissimilar to Anzac biscuits.

"There's a light sweetness on the palate reminiscent of honey and golden syrup," he said.

"For this time of year, with the weather getting cooler, the beer offers a soothing 'mouth cuddle.'"

A beer is often successful off the weight of its branding, and Mr Carman said his partner, Alex Robinson, produced a clay design to promote the new brew on tap.

"Alex has put a lot of effort into establishing Cosmo's visual brand, and her latest tap label features prints of the hops that were used to brew it," he said.
