Was drinking this stuff last night. Georgious.
I guess the American imagery suggests an American influence and possibly American hops - it certainly tasted like Cascade in there somwhere.
Is this beer anything to do with Roosters?

It is. Cascade and Willamette I think from the taste.
Roosters put out their experimental beers under the Outlaw label. There used to be a regular Outlaw beer called White Cloud. Don't know what happened to that but it was very nice.
Cheers, Lee.

The only time there were enough hopsin roosters are when they entered hooligan for a hop competition & dosed it up, otherwise they all tast the same ..

Palettes differ of course. But subtle hops'r'us *is* Roosters. Mind you I like in your face massive hop brews too, as does M. Mousson.

Indeed, subtle is the word... granted, it is a tad more difficult to appreciate than up-your face stuff.
Count me in for the Sir Sean of Knaresborough campaign !
Ditto me. I really don't know how you can say White Cloud tasted like Yankee. Both of which have to be in my Desert Island Beers somewhere. There is a Roosters/Pioneer taste which is distinctive, but there are other multifaceted tastes there as well.
But why Knaresborough? Used to be Claro Industrial estate in Harrogate, has the brewery moved? Whichever, I wish more places sold Sean's superb offerings:-(
There's a bit of resemblence between some of Sean's beers and those of Durham brewery, IMHO. Apart from them both being excellent that is:-)

In conversation with Mr Protz recently at a tatsting of Czech beers he used the word "hoppy" to mean bitter.
