About
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.

(Draft at Akkurat, Stockholm, 3 March 2026) Golden amber colour with brief head. Fruity nose with apricots, orange, herbs, hints of yeast and wood. Fruity, slightly tart taste with notes of apricots, citrus, herbs and wood. Low herbal bitterness. More than medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Tart and woody saison. Interesting, and quite tasty. Very nice.

My New Year marathon of beer hunting up and down the country is now over, plenty of deeds and words in that time. This Deed's words start with describing a deeper clear amber coloured cask pull. A robust hoppy bitter, it blurs the lines between traditional and modern, with a good bitter-sweet flavour.
