Western Australia's craft beer enthusiasts have found their new favourite thirst-quencher, and it's coming straight from the Margaret River region. King Road Brewing's Short Stay American Pale Ale is making waves across the state with its perfectly balanced flavour profile that's both approachable and complex.
What Makes This APA Special?
This isn't your average pale ale. The Short Stay APA delivers a masterful blend of tropical and citrus notes that dance across the palate without overwhelming the senses. At a sessionable 4.8% ABV, it's the perfect companion for those long, hot Australian afternoons when you want flavour without fatigue.
The brewers at King Road have struck gold with this creation, achieving that elusive balance between hop character and drinkability. The aroma hits you with bright citrus and pine, while the taste delivers subtle tropical fruit notes that linger just long enough to make you reach for another sip.
Perfect For The Aussie Climate
What really sets this beer apart is its understanding of the Australian palate and climate. It's crisp, refreshing, and doesn't sit heavy in the stomach - making it ideal for everything from beach days to backyard barbecues. The moderate bitterness means it appeals to both craft beer veterans and those just dipping their toes into the world of independent brewing.
The can design reflects the beer's character - clean, modern, and inviting. It's the kind of beer that looks right at home in an esky at the cricket or on the table at your local pub.
