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 at the Wenlock on 8th November 2009. Gold, white head. Clean, hoppy and very easy drinking on a quasi-saline mouthfeel. Rewarding hoppy finish. A delicious session ale.

Intensely fruity ale. Grapefruit and peachy hops that also impart a bitter dry finish.

On tap at the Euston Tap. Clear pale gold beer, small white head. Light semi dry palate. Light creamy malt with a pleasing lemon - grapefruit mild citrus. The lemon turns sweeter, like a watered down lemon sherbet. Grapefruit pith. Smooth finish. Semi dry.

Cask at The Regal JDW, Cambridge, 03-10-09 Pours very pale gold, white head, quite a blunt nose, but there is a touch of buttery caramel. Taste is rather wishy washy, lacks a hoppy bite, very tame and boring for Roosters. A5 A4 F5 P3 Ov10 2.7

(Cask at White Horse, Parson’s Green, London, 8 Aug 2009) Golden yellow colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, slightly malty nose with notes of peaches, citrus and mango. Malty, fruity taste with tropical fruit, bread and a mild, grassy bitterness in the finish. Below medium body, balanced sweetness. Refreshing and tasty.
