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.

Keg at the London Brewers' Market. Pours crystal clear gold, lightly effervescent, with a dense, creamy, pure white head. The nose has lots of biscuits, a little hay, hints of dough. Light sweet flavour with grassy bitterness, husky grains, more crispy biscuits. Light bodied with average carbonation. Decent balance on the finish, more biscuity character, grass and cereal, light bitter hay. Nice simple lager.

Pours clear pale blonde. Small white head that fades rather quickly. Smell is malty, tad crisp, overall pretty weak. Taste is pretty standard lager-style maltyness. tad crisp, but bit clingy as well ( maltsyrup ? ) more bitter than the average international pale lager, perhaps, and too much gas to me. OK. a bit of a downer after I was so impressed by their WORK.

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.

33cl bottle from Beer52.com. An amber colour with a thin white head; aroma of honey; strong sour grain taste with a smooth honeyed body and some citrus; then a spicy bitterness leading to a long drying finish. Nicely balanced.
