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.

[Cask at GBBF 2004] An orange beer with a small white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of oranges - and so is the flavor, while the end is dry.

Light and vibrant looking beer with a nicely hopped aroma and a very light flavour. Overall a very nice beer.

Cask conditioned at the White Horse, Parsons Green, London. Deep golden colour, moderate head. Minimal carbonation, aroma was hard to detect due to a smoky pub, some aromatic hops around. Flavour is instantly Cascade hops (I think), elderberry-like qualities, not really bitter. An OKish beer, not great, lacks some "bite".

(Cask) Very pale gold, cold haze. virtually no head. (Served in bad glass). Very little nose, slight hoppiness. Taste: sweet grapefruit, citrussy, bitterness. Pale malts. Sweetness in the finish. Medium-bodied. Demi-sec whine-ish quality. Not bad, but it is a bit like the obligatory summer special. Which didn't quite succeed for me.

Lagerish appearance, with a watery hopped bitter aroma. The flavour is lightly citric with a light hopped bitterness. Overall a good beer.

On cask at the White Horse...light amber; explosive hop aroma; slightly minerally palate; good hop flavour but the relatively moderate bitterness tells me they just don't have a full grasp of what the Yankees are up to these days.
