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.

375ml can into shaker. Juicy, piney, woody nose with pepper. Cloudy amber beer with small frothy head. Some lacing. Light carbonation leads to a finish of sweet liquorice and herbs. Beautiful easy-drinking beer, full of flavour.

(Bottle) Pours hazy golden with small white head. Nice aroma - chocolate, orange and caramel notes, peppery hints. Medium body, bright somewhat fizzy carbonation. Great taste - rich and interesting. There’s chocolate, coconut, and some light caramel sweetness at the start. This gives way to a richer toffee sweetness, some peppery spice and some alcohol burn. Unusual, and great tasting beer.

Doesn't strike me as a typical mild so much as a really light IPA but it's fine for all that with some zesty hop and a bit of a bready touch to lend it little depth. Pleasant enough.

(Can) Pours hazy pale gold with reasonable white head. Aroma is cereal with hints of pine and pepper. Light body, pretty fizzy. Light cereal malt with some balancing citrusy tartness at start. Some peppery and metallic notes develop and sustain into the finish. Not great, not terrible. Wouldn’t choose it, but wouldn’t refuse it.

Can. Cloudy brownish amber (even the wundercrop hemp can't get a modern IPA to drop bright apparently) with a white head. Interesting aroma of stone and tropical fruit, bread, fennel, mint. An odd glueyness to the texture and the herbal notes are medical and oddly salve like. Grassy and quite bitter at the end. Interesting, different. One to try again.

(Bottle) Pours clear Amber with slight pink tinge. Aroma has fruit, maybe a hint of the sea, and a little cardboard. Light body with excellent carbonation - soft and plentiful. Taste is complex. A pleasant tartness is the main feature. There’s fruit on top of this, clearly plums. There’s some herby notes, and some subtle saltiness. Very refreshing, and unusual.

Can - Pours a little hazy, a golden colour with a small bubbly white head. A sweet fruity aroma, citrus and hoppy. A fruity citrus taste; quite sweet with a citrus and piney hop bitterness
