Here we go again trying to figure out exactly which Rogue brew we are drinking. Touted as "Yellow Snow". Off taps at Capital Ale House Downtown.
Pour was a clear golden orange without much head at all. Aroma is citrusy/piney hops...definately some Amarillo in there.
Beer is quite bitter with flavors of citrusey/piney hops. Moderate caramel malt sweetness to back up the hops.
Medium body and light carbonation. Bitterness lasts well past the finish.
I’d put this beer in the American IPA class. I couldn’t taste juniper berries in this brew, said they were in there, maybe just behind all the piney hops. Quite tasty.

Aug 12, 2008 Bottle from Sondra (as Yellow Snow IPA). Orange tinged amber color with a decent off-white head. Aroma is a mix of fruity, citrus, piney hops. Sturdy body with creamy carbonation. Flavor seems roasted malt with primarily resin and citrus hop. Finish is bitter hop with a slight undertone of sweet malt. Rather refreshing.

Jul 12, 2008 On tap @ Coles (Yellow Snow IPA) - Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a thin off white head. Very little lacing. Aroma is floral hops and light esters. Flavor is fruity esters and light citrus. Light to medium body. Kinda boring for an IPA. Worth a try.
