If you wanna (want to) understand Aussie culture in the summer, a good intro is an arvo (afternoon) bbq of backyard cricket and froffies (beers).
The keg we had was labelled Pale but its a delightfully light and sessionable summer ale. Slightly lagery and hard to pour - huge head and froth so some wasted beer but lovely nonetheless. I would say hoppy but its not on the USA level of hoppy with bitters.
