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.

Cloudy Cider from Young Henrys
11 years ago
6.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
(On tap) Cloudy pale yellow with small white head. Subtle citrusy apple aroma. Medium bodied with good carbonation. Taste is apple dominated, a little tart and a little sweet. Overall it’s rather a middle of the road cider: it’s pleasant but nothing special, but also it’s neither lolly water like many mainstream ciders, nor the aggressive assault on the tatsebuds that some specialty ciders can be.

Clear golden with a white head. Aroma is light citrus, lemony, and a bit of toasted malt. Flavor is much the same. Light bitter finish. Thin bodied. Good easy drinking ale for a night’s session.

6.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7
Bottle, 64cl. An unclear, dark golden beer with a small, off-white head. The aroma is fruity and tropical, with some notes of herbs and spices. Malty hints. Citrus peel, perfume and herbs in the flavor, and a nice bitterness. A nice maltyness too, leading to a mostly bitter finish. Full body and a pleasant carbonation level. Lasting finish. Pretty nice this one, but a tad on the sweet side I think. 140301
