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.

Key keg at the Wandsworth summer beer fest. Clouded orange colour with a lasting white head. Aroma is nice big bursting passion fruit fruits with light tart. Flavour is crisp wheat, dry mineral and carbonic acid. Palate is highly carbonated, chalky, attacks the tongue.tasty beer.

On tap at the Royal Navy Volunteer, Bristol, 15/7/2014. Slightly hazy gold, with a decent, off-white, head. Juicy, tangerine and tropical fruits, grassy hops, some crisp malts and a dryish finish. Very good.

Bottle from Oddbins. Hazy golden body with a thin white head. Low carbonation. Aroma of lime and orange sherbet. Flavour of zesty citrus, pear and a warming alcohol finish. Medium body with an oily mouthfeel. Light fizz. A touch too boozy, but quite nice.
