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 Kings Arms, 14/11/16. Golden blonde with a decent off white head. Nose is pale malts, lemon, straw, white pepper trace, orange peel. Taste comprises melon, tangerine, light bread dough, trace of minerality. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with an earthy hop dusting. Doesn’t come close to the best APA’s in town but drinkable none the less.

Bottle from Bottle Shop, Bermondsey. It pours hazy gold with a thick white head. The aroma is toasted grain, white bread, cracker, hay and a touch of spice. The taste is crisp, rather bitter, peppery spice, straw, cracker, minerals, toasted grain, soda water and grass with a lingering bitter plastic finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Weird plastic and spicy character comes through after a while. Not great for the first beer on offer from these guys.

Keg at kings arms at the launch. Mostly clear golden yellow coloured pour with a thin white head. Aroma is subdued, little berry fruit, cereal, hint of perfume. Grainy. Flavour is composed of grainy cereal, grain store, little husk, sweet hedgerow berry. Some mineral, little cooked corn, some English yeast esters. Palate is medium light grainy, moderate carbonation. Somewhat bland but passable. London is a pretty tough market, to survive these guys need to improve.
