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.

Can. Clear gold, white head. Gentle grainy aroma with some honey, cardboard and weeds. So it tastes. Moderately sweet with very modest bitterness. The XPA in this range was surprisingly bold. This isn't, but it is a competent macro alternative. Wonder where it's brewed.

Can. Cloudy yellowish orange with a modest white head. Aroma of oranges, passionfruit, some lemon rind, crackers. Thinnish with a bit of an intrusive earthy and herbal note. Much hoppier than I'd have guessed - calling a new range of beers Classic when they are contract brewed somewhere for the supermarkets suggested something much more timid. Dryish with moderate bitterness. Fair enough.

Poured a hazy yellow golden colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy malt, melon, stone fruits. The flavour is moderate sweet and bitter, with a light, fresh, crisp, melon, funky, buttery, light floral hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation.

Can, bb 5/24. Fairly hazy pale yellowish orange with a good cm of dense white head that lasts pretty well. Aroma of pineapple, peach, crackers, perhaps a hint of mandarin. So it tastes - the citrus holds things together near the still sweetish end. It's a bit on the sweet side for me but a solid beer with nice fruity hops.

(On tap) Clear golden yellow with modest white head. Slightly fruity aroma. Light body with good carbonation. Average lager, with some subtle but pleasant passionfruit notes. Pleasant, easy drinking, unexceptional.
