Motörhead, Camerons Brewery, and Global are proud to announce that Röad Crew is officially coming to the USA and being brewed by Arcadia Brewing Company of Kalamazoo, Michigan.
This American IPA will sit around 6.2% ABV, a crushable hop-forward India Pale Ale with attitude that showcases a floral and citrusy hop character with just the right amount of malt sweetness. Röad Crew beer is perfect for all rock, beer and hop heads and goes down especially well whilst listening to Motörhead at a wonderfully obscene, lawn-killing volume. Röad Crew will be available in bottles, cans, keg and even cask.

Sampled on draft at Ruggers this beer poured a yellow gold color with an enormous foamy yellow-white head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was dry and perfumey. The flavor was bitter, dry, perfumey and citric. Long finish. Light body.

12 ounce bottle into tulip glass; no bottle dating, but is a recent release. Pours slightly hazy deep golden amber color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, mango, melon, red apple, citrus peel/zest, woody, light peppercorn/pine, toasted biscuit, light honey/caramel, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/earthy hops, fruity yeast, and bready malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, mango, melon, red apple, citrus peel/zest, woody, light peppercorn, pine, toasted biscuit, light honey/caramel, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel, herbal, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, mango, melon, red apple, citrus peel/rind, woody, peppercorn, pine, toasted biscuit, light honey/caramel, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops, fruity yeast, and bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth and creamy/bready/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great; light lingering resins/rinds after the finish. Minimal warming alcohol for 6.2%. Overall this is a delicious English IPA. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops, fruity yeast, and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the modestly bitter/drying finish, not overly aggressive. Great balance of juicy/earthy US/UK hops, English yeast, and bready English malts. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example as expected.
