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.

On tap at Spotted Mallard, Brunswick, VIC. Amber. Medium head. Little bit of pine on nose. Nice biscuity, almost spice herbaceousness. Not much bitterness. Very drinkable, but not astounding.

Bottle. Aroma is pine dominated. Taste is alright, bit of hops, bit of toffee, not so exciting. Bit thin.

Can. Not far off clear amber with a modest white head. Rather shy aroma is earthy and bready. Medium bodied, carbonation is on the high side. Sweet with more biscuit than bread; an interesting lemony and earthy spicy bitterness. Quite nice but lacks punch.

On tap at You Am I gig at Espy Sept 6, 2019 (a new batch was brewed for this tour). Golden amber. Waft of biscuits. Mild, sweet, some bitterness. Not as punchy as the band, but refreshing.

375ml can into plastic glass. On board XPT from Taree to Sydney. Pours a golden amber with a foamy white head, slight haze. Nose is fruit and malt, taste is refreshing and slightly bitter. Finish has touches of caramel malt and bitter lemon. Great mid-strength, easy-drinking and flavourful. Nice to see a decent beer on a train too!

From a 640ml bottle on 28/4/2019 (shared with Butz). Pours a dark clear golden with a small head. Has a quite strong dank fruity aroma. Has a strong sweet/sour fruitiness to it, with some biscuit malt. Medium to full bodied with average carbonation. Has a fair bit of flavour to it, but it's not particulalrly winning flavour - a bit sour and sharp and lacking in balance. Not at all sure how to classify this brew, as double pale ale is not really a recognised style. Not terrible, but would not go out of my way to have again.
