About
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.

6.5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 7
Can. Clear gold with a loose white head. Aroma of passionfruit, kumquats, melon, hay, some herbal notes. And then it’s a bit flat on the palate with some biscuit as well as hay and a finish that’s well off dry and not particularly bitter, The fruity hops almost disappear, leaving just some herbal and citrus notes. Seems a bit tired despite BB 10/16 - were the malt a bit tauter I can see this working very well. Not sure whether this is a polarising brewery or the canning is inconsistent.

375ml can from Beer Cartel, Sydney. Hazy yellow colour, short-lived fizzy white foam head and aroma of apple, lemony citrus, hay. Taste is crisp apple, tangy, fruity, bittersweet. Light bodied, medium carbonation, dry lightly tannic finish. Quite OK.

Can, contract brewed somewhere. Hazy orange with a loose white head. Light bready and floral aroma with some spices and lemon. Plain but pleasant pale malt, decent amount of bitterness, some earthy and floral notes, peppery at the end. Fresh and wholesome but not terribly engaging.

Cloudy pale. Aroma is funny, light apple, but candyish and just a bit odd. Sweeter, a bit like taking apple juice and making moonshine cider with it...so not refined, a bit odd, amateurish, too.

Cask. Hazy light brown. Toasty nose, maybe a touch of minty hop character. Hop more prominent on the nose, with a toasty accent. Ok, bit of tartness and the flavours aren’t coming together all that much.

Amber, thin head. Aroma is quite toasty. Warming toasty amber ale, light bitterness and just a hint of balancing hops.
