Description
With Forest Road, what you see is what you get. We don’t have big investors. We’re not owned by a multinational corporation. We started on a tiny kit in an East London backyard, and we’ve grown through hard work.

What we work hardest at is the quality of our beer. When we heard that one of the world’s greatest breweries - Russian River in Northern California - was selling its brewhouse, we knew we had to get our hands on it. We worked night and day to raise the cash, sailed it through the Panama Canal and now it has a new home, here in London.

pours rather unclear blonde, small white head. Smell is mild, aromatic hoppyness. Taste is sharp, grassy bitter, really spicy hops, really green. very likeable ! Lovely intense green hoppy with a long lasting, fading out aftertaste that builds up even more spiced hops. Very nice ! rather intensely bitter aftertaste.
