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.

Pendle Beer Festival 2026 Beer#10. Light clear golden coloured ale. Has a mainly hopped character with tropical fruits coming to the fore in its aftertaste. Fruity in aroma too.

Can at home with a good friend. A reasonable ipa with a reasonable taste and mouthfeel. Very drinkable but not one to seek out again.

Maurice Hillerman is an unsung hero. This unsung hero is a clear golden beer, pretty in appearance, hoppy, in character crisp in its keg pour. Flavoursome enough.

The word 'Yankee' probably has Dutch language origins. This beer has evolved too and this good-looking dry-hopped version has a good hoppy-tropical fruit balance to its flavour, verging on sweet in taste. Almost evident in aroma too
