Originally brewed and developed in the garden of 97 B/C Forest Road in Hackney, East London by Pete and his new flatmates in the Summer of 2015 fresh after leaving his senior brewer position at Camden Town Brewery. After convincing a 500 year old brewery in Belgium (www.leroybreweries.be) to let him have a go - Pete took 75kg of American hops on the Eurostar to brew 15,000 liters of this badboy - this is how Forest Road was started.

5 years later, WORK ipa has retained its every intention.

Brewed with classic Northwest USA hops, with a sturdy malt backbone derived from our signature, carried by a soft ester profile from the much-sought after Forest Road house ale strain, dry-hopped during active fermentation, then once again immediately before its 3-week maturation and cold-conditioning phase.

Keg draught at the brewpub. Yellow gold, clear with a very thin white head. Big vanilla malt notes in an overall gentle aroma. Some grass, some melon... circus peanuts? Hmmmm. Maybe. The taste brings floral character with a little banana and melon. Sweet, but not overly so, from start to finish. Lightly carbonated, which lifts the body. While there isn't a massive amount to this APA, I am warming to it over the course of the drink. Worth a go.

Can at Woodys. Pours a near clear gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of grass with a bit of straw and some light pine coming through. Flavor has grain and light flora with a bit of citrus and earthy grass supporting.

Fra fat på legendariske Hole In the Wall (her har lite og ingenting blitt forandret siden jeg frekventerte denne midt på 80-tallet, til og med røyklukta sitter igjen!), med Egil: nesten helt klar gylden med fint skum helt til bunns. Mild aroma og god smak med barskog, urter, gress og honning. Balansert og myk munnfølelse og ettersmak.

From tap at Hole in the Wall, Waterloo, with Holmen1 04.07.22. Clear golden. Aroma snd taste of pale malt, citrus peel, pine shoots and marmalade. Decent, but not very original.

Keg at Forest Road Taproom, half pint shared with Finn. A white tophead over a clear amber body, rich lacing. Malt-fruity aromas, hints of herbal hops and light caramel malts. The taste profile follows suit with caramel, herbal hops and a vibe of biscuit. Developing bittersweet ending. Medium bodied. Quite pleasing. (London 17.11.2021).

Delt med Rune. Gylden. Klar! Lett fruktaroma. Filmskum. Smaken tørket tropisk frukt. Tørr bitter avslutning.

Can on 13th December 2020 from Advent Calendar. Pours clear copper with loose off-white foam reducing quickly to a film. Spot lacing. Somewhat remote hoppy aroma. Plenty of spiced citrus in liquid pass, and a finish shaped by rear-mouth bitterness. Medium bodied with a zingy mouthfeel.
