A marriage made in North Yorkshire for this anticipated ale as new Theakston brews are rare. There's lots of traditional aspects here, combined with some tropical fruit emitting hops and the results is an excellent fusion of old and new with Roosters. Tropical notes are strong in aftertaste.

Roosters beer at the brewery located at Hornbeam park, stirring up memories of Hornbeam Brewery - the two are unrelated though. Clear golden, attractively carbonated lager brewed inches away from me. It's pretty sweet, moreso than expected from this hell styled brew, leaving some bubble gum flavours to traverse.

Looks like a sunburnt Bagpuss in colour being a reddish-pink coloured cloudy lemonade. The lemon is evident, a bit sugared with hints of grapefruit. All quite easy,, but easy over appealing in this case.

Dark ruby colour, small beige head. Caramalt, hard licorice, malts in the nose. Light to medium-bodied. Flavour is like hoppy Old Peculier. Caramalt, hard licorice, earthy hops, decent bitterness, malty backbone. Nice traditional Old Ale, modern CDA mix.

Can. Morrison’s. Muddy dark brown. Half decent sticky lasting beige foam. Nose has dark chocolate. Well done white crusty loaf. Some dark cherry truffle. Some charred citrus. Taste has a light sweetness up front with a good heft of charred bitterness. Drinks nice and easy overall. Nicely juicy in fact. Good depth of bitterness to finish. Nice CDA.
