Röad Crew

Tap to rate

An American pale ale with hoppy citrus and blackcurrant flavours, built on Pale Ale and wheat malt and hopped with Galena, Bramling Cross and Mandarina Bavaria. It came out of the 2016 collaboration with Motörhead, and the story goes that Lemmy wrote the song of the same name in ten minutes. Some listings give 4.5 %, the brewery's own text says 5.0 %.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with assertive citrus notes, particularly grapefruit and orange zest, layered over subtle blackcurrant undertones from the Bramling Cross. Mandarina Bavaria adds a bright, floral-edged fruitiness, while the pale malt and wheat provide a clean, slightly grainy backbone. The overall profile is hop-forward without being aggressive.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and fruity, with citrus and berry flavours developing across the mid-palate in tandem with a soft wheat grain sweetness. Moderate bitterness from the Galena and Edelhopfen builds steadily, balancing the malt's residual sweetness without dominating. The finish is refreshingly dry, with lingering citrus and a gentle herbal edge.
