Commercial Description:
Fomerly known as Yellowstone Pale Ale. A traditional-style pale ale with a golden color and a full malt flavor that is surpassed only by the clean, crisp hop quality. The flowery, hop aroma is enhanced by a generous portion of dry hopping. Brewed from pale malted barley, crystal, Munich, carastan malts, Pacific Northwest hops, water and ale yeast. Note: last brewed by Mendocino Brewing.

Very tasty. I believe this one should be higher ranked and probably will be after more people sample it. Wonderful balance and definitely fruity. An APA to try, for sure.

Clear orange colour, very fragrant citrusey smell. Insanely fruity, no bitter hops, but a great flavour!

This is a very nice APA. Cloudy dark amber with a miniscule-bubbled lacey head. Deep, rich toffee-like amber malt aroma wafts out of the glass. Taste is similar; very sweet, but a nice hoppy bitter ending. But, the emphasis here is definitely on the malts. Very well done, and underrated IMO.

Bottled. Slightly darker than the lager, decent head and lacing; malty aroma seems to me to have a touch of maple, very sweet, nice. Flavor develops some hops midway through, but degenerates into a rather dull ending. Overall ends up quite drinkable but rather bland; a couple of tastes seemed to have hints of metal, also, yuck.

Rerate (bottle; replacing a festival tasting): Cloudy amber light-brown, large creamy beige head. Light citrus and earthy aroma with light malt. Sweet with light caramel up front, mild spicy bitterness, earthy finish. Smooth with light carbonation, almost British feel - with maybe a hint of fruit.

Both more fully bodied and more malty than I expected. Probably not as crisp as it should be. Dark amber color, lingering malt aftertaste.

Pretty good pale ale... nothing out of the ordinary, not that hoppy and has some nice sweet malt flavor. Pretty good.

Nice light copper color topped by a decent light tan head. Aroma is sweet and slightly fruity. Smell of earthy hops become noticeable as the beer warms. Flavor is fruity and spicy. Medium earthy hoppiness shows up just before the swallow and continues through the aftertaste. Resiny feeling lingers after the swallow.
