Description
Camerons Brewery is now the only remaining major independent family brewer in the North East of England.

We are the Road Crew. Mit 5,0 % Alk. sicher viel zu leicht für Lemmy - hätte der vielleicht zum Zähneputzen hergenommen. Sehr schön gestaltete Flasche. Das Bier hat eine helle, leicht trübe Farbe mit fast weißem Schaum. Frisch fruchtig in der Nase, allerdings mischen sich auch recht muffige, leicht buttrige Töne darunter - nicht direkt lecker. Schmeck tut es deutlich besser. Etwas Mandarine blitzt zunächst auf. Tritt dann ein, zwei Schritte zurück und macht Platz für florale Noten. Grapefruit, Zitronenschale und etwas Getreide sind immer vorhanden. Läuft hopfig-bitter aus. Zwischendurch hin und wieder ganz leicht metallisch (ist das möglicherweise sogar etwas Gutes bei einem Motörhead-Bier?). Insgesamt eher leicht, was aber durchaus mit dem Alkoholgehalt von 5,0 % korreliert. Auch wenn hier nicht alles ganz rund läuft, hat dieses Wechselspiel an Geschmäckern während des Trinkens durchaus seinen Reiz. Dem Bier ist anzumerken, dass es aus einem großen Industriebetrieb stammt und kein echtes handwerklich gebrautes Craft Beer ist. Ich geh schwer davon aus, dass hier billiger Hopfenextrakt und keine Pellets oder gar Dolden verwendet wurden. Was auch die Fehltöne erklären könnte. Kann man aber auf alle Fälle trinken und der Metal-Fan hat mit der schönen Flasche eine stilvolle Blumenvase (für kleine Sträuße). But I just love the life I lead Another beer is what I need Another gig, my ears bleed We are the road crew Another town I've left behind Another drink, completely blind Another hotel I can't find

Keg pint in the Station Hotel, Hexham on 13th April 2023. Off-white crown on a clean amber body. It's a sweet malty molasses sort of brew, caramel to the fore, light hop bitterness towards the finish.

Cask at Head of Steam, Durham. Golden colour, white foam head and aroma of citrus, fruit, hop. Taste is malt, earthy, biscuit, caramel, with fruity, citrusy hop bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry tangy citric bitter finish. Quite drinkable

One-third pint, cask ale, shared with Finn at Head of Steam. Bright amber body, bubbles on the surface, spotty lacing. Inviting caramel-fruity aromas. Quite well balanced taste of caramel malts, bread, and ripe fruits. Rounded, bittersweet tail. Nice. (Birmingham 13.02.2023.)

Draught @ Woolshed Aroma has odd bretta tones and fruitiness. Flavour has bretta, grapefruit, mild green apples. Tart finish. Probably not in a good shape.

Cask @ Head Of Steam, Liverpool. Golden with a creamy head. Its mildly sweet strawberry notes can also come across as spicy-herbal too, with the brew easy enough to sip texture-wise.
