Camerons Mötorhead Röad Crew
Christmas has come early to Camerons Brewery as their collaboration beer with legendary British rock band Motörhead launches today. Earlier this year Camerons announced it had teamed up with Motörhead and Global Merchandising Services to create an exciting new collaboration beer.
The beer, which has been called Röad Crew, was named after the Motörhead fan favourite ‘(We Are) The Road Crew’, which appears on the 1980s ‘Ace of Spades’ album. The song was penned as a tribute to the band’s dedicated team of roadies. With lines like ‘Another beer is what I need’, the name fits perfectly for a beer everyone can enjoy.
Röad Crew, which is available in keg, cask and bottle is based on an American style session pale ale and has an ABV of 4.5% (5% in bottle). The beer is golden in colour and has a hoppy citrus and blackcurrant flavour and satisfying bitter finish.

Più che altro presa per curiosità, essendo amante della band capitanata da Kilmister, ma onestamente diciamo che le birre buone sono un'altra cosa...
Bottle, 0.33l. Clear copper pour, thin soapy white head, short lasting. Minimal lacing on the glass. Herbal and grassy nose with a touch of elderflower and citruses in the background.
Light body, soft carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel and texture, soft and silky, goes down quite nicely. Herbal bitter taste with subtle sweetness in the background. Aroma of stale grass, herbs, elderflower and citruses. Touch of honey, yeast, minerals. Short lasting finish, dry, bitter, lingering spiciness.
More like a golden ale, somewhat empty. Mediocre.
Bottled 330ml. -from Valhalla Zagreb. Clear darker golden coloured, medium sized white head, grassy floral nose. Biscuity malty, grassy, floral and light caramel with sweetish bitter finish.
Clear golden colour. Basically no head. Aroma of citrus, Orange and maracuja. Quite. Sweet and not too much bitterness. Good but average.
330ml bottle - Light crisp taste and very little palate. A slight sweet taste. Drinkable but not much of a lasting taste
Farbe: Bernstein mit leichter Trübung
Geruch: Grapefruit mit mit Gewürzen. Beim ersten Geruchs Test hatte ich gefühlt ne Alkohol Note er schnüffelt. Danach kam sie aber im Geruch nicht mehr.
Geschmack: spritzig mit Grapefruit malzig süß. Ordentliche Bitterkeit
Clear golden color and nice, but instable heag. Quite lite. Fruity-flower nose, citric floral hops.
33cl bottle. Pours brilliant reddish amber, with fine white foam. Aroma is malty, caramel/butterscotch. Body is slightly thin, with average carbonation. Taste is medium sweet. Final is average.
Color entre dorado y ámbar, semitraslúcido, con un fino dedo de espuma blanca de baja retención y viva efervescencia. Aroma a malta con algo de lúpulo floral. Sabor en la línea del aroma, dulce y con algo de amargor lupulado al final, mucho más cerca de una bitter inglesa que de una APA. Cuerpo y carbonatación medios.

Flasche 0,33l: Bernstein, glasklar, kräftiger stabiler mittelporiger Schaum; sehr fruchtige + leicht würzige Nase, kräftige würzige Süße, frische Hopfenaromen, Zitrusnoten, Maracuja, Grapefruit, etwas Pinie, Malz, Getreide, leichte Hefearomen, fruchtig-würzige Bitterkeit; fruchtiger + recht würziger Körper, leichte fruchtige Säure, kräftige würzige Hopfenaromen, Zitrusnoten, Grapefruit, Grapefruitzest, etwas Pinie, Malz, Karamell, cremig, deutliche Kohlensäure, leichte Hefearomen, leichte Röstaromen; angenehmer trocken-würziger Nachgang
eléggé intenzív és édeskés malátalé, elég komoly komlózottsággal, inkább aroma mint keresű
So despite the sickly aroma of undiluted blackcurrant cordial, this beer is actually quite refreshing and stands out from others thanks to the sweet berried flavours and excellent mouthfeel. Certainly a lot better than what you would expect when opening a novelty brew. But something that has to be addressed is how the Beer works with the branding and association to one of Britain’s most legendary rock bands. It’s all wrong. I can’t imagine rock stars and roadies putting down their drugs and cigarettes to enjoy a sweet beer that tastes like berries. Surely a dark, smokey, heavy beer would be more suited. I mean it’s a light American Pale Ale despite Motörhead being a British rock band! At least choose a British style. But hey, Mikkey Dee & Phil Campbell okayed it, so I guess this is the type of product they want to be associated with. But I like to think if Lemmy was still alive, this gimmick wouldn’t exist.

Pours a golden colour beer with a white frothy head
Notes of roasted coffee and blackberries
Malty, floral and caramely, clear golden, bitter, malty, slightly herbal, thin, average carbonation. Drinkable.
Deep gold colour. Smelt a bit eggy. Very fizzy. Tasted just like Deuchars IPA back in the 1990’s. Drinkable but not something I’d probably g out of my way to buy again.
Bottle from some collection I got for Christmas. Light. Gooseberry and a little grapefruit. Fairly tame stuff given the band connection. Drinkable but not great.
330ml bottle. Pours a mild gold with white head. Strong hops on the nose which have an almost vegetable note to them. Medium body with light bitterness and the same vege style hop notes. Rather bland.
GYG 070919. Deep golden color with a white head. Aroma is fruit, malt, hop. Flavor is fruit, malt, hop, berries, bread, grass, spices. Bitter finish. Ordinary beer.
Really disappointed from start to finish, great bottling but this beer poses alongside premium new wave offerings.
Clear blond colour with thin wispy head. Aroma has light elements of forest fruits. Flavour has that in the background with roinded hop bitterness up front.
Bottle. Pours a dark gold colour with a thin white head, light hop aroma with some fruit, the taste is medium bitterness and fruity with a dry bitter finish.
Bottle. Dark golden, clear, white foam. Aroma: fruity, esters, citrus, malt. Taste: good malt, candies, citrus, fruity, soft bitterness.
Cask beer served at the Last Post JDW Southend on Sea, still looking for signs of life. Lemmy tell you about this beer; it's red hot outside but sitting in here with this pint it's ace. Calling a spade a spade I'm very happy to report it's hoppy, therefore I obviously love it. Let's rock x
Helt okej APA. Lite tunn eftersmak.
De OkasionalBeer. En copa Teku. En cena, con filetes de pollo en salsa. APA ligeramente resinosa mas que correcta. Esperaba una cosa mas comercialoide pero tiene un puntito hoppy guay y es bastante bebible

Small white head over clear copperish beer. Sweetish nose, oxydation, rosewater, bit peppery, ureum. Cheesy taste, oxydated hops, asafoetida. Old leaves. But it changes, and the finish reaches a fine balance between caramel-malty sweetness and a fresh leafiness, bitterish, hoppy. Good carbonation, bit slick, light to medium bodied. A pattern usually spelling doom, but at the end of the sampling, we're left with a pretty attractive beer, against all odds. And despite the silly Umlauts. I Thanks to Stef! /I
