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.

Cask, gravity at Merton Summer Beer Festival 15-07-10 (before festival started) Pours dark brown almost black with a few stray bubbles. The aroma is great and I’m not a whisky fan, wood and spirits seep off of this. Taste is a little sour and fruity the spirit and wood shows again but not quite in the same way, I found that this lacked a little in the mouth and never reached the heights of the nose. A little thin and insubstantial, light liqourice touches, watery coffee, its ok in fact its nice but I was hoping for so much more. A8 A3 T3 P3 Ov14 3.4

Beige-brownish head with good retention atop of a black body with deep ruby shades. Smell of whisky and dark fruits. Whisky taste, alright, and dark roasted malts added by oak vanilla sweetness partly offset by a nice backdrop of dark berries - blackcurrant, I would say. Enjoyable, however, still rather sweet. Well kept real ale, half pint, served at the North Bar in Leeds, 11.07.2010.

Cask, half pint, served lightly chilled in a mug at the North Bar in Leeds. Golden body topped by a film type layer. Aroma of fruity hops. Hints of lemon and grapefruits in flavour rounded off by a dry bitter ending. Very refreshing and paired well with local made cheese (Sunday pub crawl in Leeds, 11.07.2010).
