- Brew: Röad Crew American Pale Ale

- Serving: 16 ounce can
- ABV: 5.0%
- Pour: The Röad Crew pours a clear, light copper-amber with a thin, bright white head with good retention and lacing.
- Nose: The nose is characterized by earthy, floral, citrusy, and malty aromas. There are notes of light pine resin, grapefruit rind, tangerine, lemon zest, cedar, herbs, wild flowers, light onion, biscuity malt, and soft caramel.
- Taste: The taste follows the nose with citrusy, earthy, and malty flavors. There are notes of light citrus (orange zest and pith), pine, black tea, barley, crackery biscuit, and soft caramel/toffee.
- Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied with moderate carbonation, the Röad Crew is crisp with a dry, slightly bitter, yet clean finish.
Overall pairing: The Röad Crew from Ale Asylum is the obvious choice to crush with Motörhead's killer "No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith"... and not just because of the namesake! Those hoppy, punchy flavors work great with the overall heaviness of the album, while the maltier notes go great with the more heavy bluesy elements of the album!
Cheers!! Hails!!

Another beer is what I need,
Another gig, my ears bleed,
We are the road crew."

We are the road crew."
