Description
Like most good stories, ours started over a beer. Meeting on opposite sides of the bar, Richard Adamson and Oscar McMahon got talking over their love of beer and music, and discovered they also shared the view that the Australian beer scene felt a little stagnant – that it should be more adventurous, innovative and fun. With Richard’s experience in brewing, and Oscar’s hospitality know-how, they decided they should do more than just talk.

Overcoming a tangle of red tape, Young Henrys eventually found a home in a modest warehouse in the backstreets of Newtown. With a few friends, a small brew kit and the maxim to ‘serve the people’, the first Young Henrys beers were brewed in March 2012.

Aromas of grapefruit, caramel and bread. Quite a bitter hop taste that dominates, but quite enjoyable m

375ml can from Dan Murphys, Hurstville. Cloudy yellow colour, short-lived fizzy white foam head and aroma of ginger, citric. Taste is tangy, gingery, warm spicey with citric acidity. Medium bodied, spritzy carbonation, drying warm ginger finish. Quite drinkable.

Day 8:

Young Henry’s Hazy Pale Ale 5.2%

Nice golden color, very fizzy body with foam that didn’t last. The aroma is really fruity and full on. Prickly dry light body.

Decent.

Can. Unclear amber with a good cm of white head. Aroma of kumquats, weeds, breadcrust. So it tastes. Some caramel sweetness but ends up fairly dry and quite bitter. Not the latest thing but pretty good.

Schooner on tap at Club Rivers. Pours a pale yellow with a thin white solid head. Distant malt aroma. Medium body, smooth texture, nice lacing. Very easy to drink but a bit bland. Another XPA that is nothing like any other XPA.

375ml can into glass. From BWS, Glen Innes. Pours a very pale yellow.Lots of tiny bubbles, slight haze. Big head of white foam. Fruit cordial nose. Fruity taste, bitter finish, flat mouthfeel. Very easy to drink. One of Young Henry's 'ordinary' releases. I'll probably see it on a NSW train soon.

375ml can into glass. From BWS, Glen Innes. Crystal clear golden amber beer with high swirling carbonation and a thin sticky white head. Faint aroma of grain, quite sweet. Medium body, low fizz. Easy to drink, smooth texture. Nice quaffer, that's it.
