Shut up about Barclay Perkins - Let's Brew Wednesdauy - 2006 Youngs Ram Rod
Visit the Shut up about Barclay Perkins site
This parti-gyle just keeps giving, with a third of Young’s range of Pale Ales, Ram Rod. Which was effectively their ESB. Except that it wasn’t usually sold on draught, only in bottled form.
I’m not sure if this is still brewed. It doesn’t appear on the Young’s beer website. Though RateBeer has one review from this year. It’ll annoy my mate Lucas if it isn’t, as he’s partial to a “Ram and Spesh”, a sort of upmarket Light and Bitter. Which would come out at about 5.1% ABV.
Obviously, being parti-gyled, it has the same basic recipe as Ordinary and Special. A very simple combination of maris otter pale malt and crystal malt. Along with English hops.
The bitterness level – as with the other two Pale Ales – seems on the low side. But that’s what BeerSmith spat out when I fed in the recipe.
