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.

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.

12oz bottle-pours a foamy off white head and gold color. Aroma is citrus-light/medium hops. Taste is citrus-light/medium hops-bitter, secondary medium malt-caramel. Easy drinking. OK carbonation.

Sparkling clear, deep golden ale with a small, fizzy, off-white head. The nose is earthy, herbal and floral with a touch of clover honey. Well-hopped, but not overly so. Medium-bodied with a silky mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Lengthy, bitter, dry finish with a bit of grapefruit rind at the very end.

gold appearance. Close to no head. Nuts, berries, vanilla in the nose. A bit of a stale malt and nut feeling and flavor. Fairly mild carbonation, with some small hints of honey, ginger, and wet paper.

One sniff and I sure hope this is an old bottle, but without a date, I can’t tell. Hazy dark golden color with a modest dark cream colored head. Sweet honey aromas along with weathered pine boards and now that I sense it, tons of butterscotch. This just smells sticky. Well the flavors are a touch more palatiable. Lots of hops bite throughout the quaff, which overtake the malt and hold it down until late in the finish. Too unbalanced and the aroma drops this one down.

Bottle. Poured a deep amber with a large frothy white head that lasted and had good lacing. Medium hoppy flowers aroma. Medium body with a slick texture. Moderate sweet malt bitter flavor with a small bitter long finish.

Dark straw colored, with decent head but little lacing. Hopcit aroma and taste, with some florals at the finish.
