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) Pours cloudy amber with thin white head. Lovely aroma of passionfruit, orange and pine. Light bodied with good carbonation. There's an unusual, somewhat medicinal taste throughout. There's some tangy fruit at the start and some nice hop notes. Bitterness is pretty restrained. Refreshing, unusual.

Thought I was getting an Aussie pale ale, but it's just a plane golden ale

Tap at Young Henrys Brewery, Newtown. Amber gold colour, white foam head and fruity hop aroma. Taste is pale malt with some fruity hop and tangy bitterness. Light bodied, medium carbonation, dry light bitter finish. Quite OK.

500ml can into pint glass. Dark brown beer with large crown of foam on top. Nose of pine needles, grass, and overripe fruit. Lightly bitter taste with a bit of smoky malt. Finish is lingering cocoa and bitter fruit. Nice, easy drinking porter.

The name for this one is probably a little misleading, as it's on the lighter end of the dark beer spectrum. What makes it stand out is the really dry mocha aftertaste that really stands out long after you stop drinking. The citrus is pleasant without being overbearing and the length is pretty good. It actually tastes better after you've finished. That's a first.

Can. Very dark brown, modest beige head. Aroma of oranges and citrus blossoms over bread, light roast and licorice. Light bodied - a bit thin really - with moderate carbonation. Bread, roast, coffee, then light pine and some citrus chop off the malt. Dryish and hoppy but not that bitter. Pretty good - I would have liked just a hint of bottom end rumble.

375ml can into pint glass. Pale golden beer with large frothy white head which doesn't last long. Low carbonation. Nose of sweet corn, vegetables and tin. Sweet and mild. Some pepper in the finish. A bit like the Foo Fighters this beer is a pale imitation of better things. (Think Metallica/ Hüsker Dü).

Middie on tap at brewery. Hazy amber beer with high carbonation and solid white head. laces well. It's fizzy, zingy,etc. Has a nose of lemon and stale malt. Taste is crisp and grainy, but quite sweet and citric for a Pils. The drying finish encourages another sip. Not bad, maybe too sweet.

Pint on tap at brewery. Very low carbonation. Oh look, a bubble! Thin white scummy head. Light hops and distant fruit on the nose. Some zinginess on tasting, then a chalky bitter finish. Pretty much on style but a bit boring.
