Description
The year is 1993…

… and England have failed to qualify for the World Cup, 2 Unlimited are Top of the Pops with their dance smash No Limit, Shane Warne has bowled the ‘Ball of the Century’ and Rooster’s Brewing Co. has just hatched - forever changing the shape of beer in the UK. Originators and innovators of quality, new world pale ales, with an emphasis on flavour and aroma, our beers start to stand out and turn heads amongst a sea of brown beer, with Yankee (our flagship pale ale) leading the way.

440ml can. Pours black with a beige head. Aroma of dark fruits, berries, dark chocolate malts. Taste is hoppier than the aroma suggests, more citrusy, grapefruit, piney resin, then the dark fruits, berries and chocolate malts, bittersweet with the finish more bitter. Medium bodied.
Feels like an actual blend of the two beers - aroma is more like Old Peculier and taste is more Baby-faced Assassin. Ends up more of a hoppy Old Ale as opposed to a true BIPA.

Drucken på Cask på Bishop Gustaf Malmö. Fruktig och bitter med lätt kropp. Nästan lite saftig, med bittra teblad, löv, lakritsroten och äppelskal. Gott
