Description
Rocky Head Brewery is a micro (5BBL) brewery set up by a group of friends inspired by the American Craft Brewing scene. The brewery is probably the most ramshackle in the UK, equipment sourced and modified from here, there and everywhere.. It seems to work though! We craft artisanal batches of intensely flavoured pale ale by hand, loaded with American and NZ hops.

Bottled 500ml ABM. Deep hazy orange color, good off-white head. Tart, a bit salty-like aroma. Light to medium-bodied. Sourish, a bit barnyardish with fruity hops. Simple, refreshing, somewhat drinkable.
