Yazoo Fresh Hop IPA

Brewed by Yazoo Brewing Company
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Nashville, Tennessee USA

Word to some wicked out of town guests who left a 4 pack of this baby as a thank you gift. Bottled as hop project #21. Pours a cloudy dark orange almost brown color with a tinge of white head around the rim of the glass. Big grapefruit aromas smoothly flowing into the flavor as well. Nice bubblegum flavor in there as well. All Amarillo hops here apparently. Smoothed out and balanced nicely with a nice caramel malt back bone and a little bit of sweetness. The finish is bitter grapefruit hoppiness. Pretty tasty.

@Knoxville Brewers Jam-on tap-pours a thin off white head that laces and copper color. Aroma is citrus-lemon/pine hops, some medium malt. Taste is citrus-lemon/pine hops with some bite, sweet medium malt. Good effervescence.

Dark amber-brown with a lumpy rocky off white foam. Aroma is herbal fresh hops, thick hop aroma, grassy and citrus. Taste is coating almost syrupy hop oils, fresh wet herbal hops and caramel malts.

Draft at JClydes, Birmingham. Copper with a nice little lasting head. Aroma is spicy resin, citrus and caramel. Flavor is similar with some spicy-peppery grass and wood as well. LIght-medium body is smoothish, tingly and finishes well dry.

Actually entered this, and then forgot to rate it. On tap at the taproom. Poured a slightly hazy amber with a small off white head. Aroma of sweetish malt and some floral hops. Flavor was very vinous, with a good malt balance. This isn’t much more than a fresh hopped version of their pale ale (Amarillo hops used in both), but a much better beer in my estimation.

Pours a lacing, beige had with a clear, copper body. Grapefruit, pineapple, resin aromas. Ditto for flavor. Some bitterness. Dry.

Beige head with an orange-copper body. Floral and resinous. Good malt presence. Sticky and bitter.

on tap at the mellow mushroom in franklin...Ohh so good light hop arpma but loads of hop flavor! More More!

Bottle. Perfect appearance. Clear orange pour with good two finger sustainable light tan head. Piney, with a pleasing skunk, like good bud. Very bitter grapefruit hops, with hints of sweet honey and a citrus balance. I don’t think this is my favorite, but it is probably the technical best of the series.

On draft at the 12th Street Taphouse. They had a single keg delivered for one night only. Unfortunately due to the poor lighting, it was nearly impossible to judge the color. Sweet honey and fruity hop aroma. The flavor was very floral. Medium chewy body was a little syrupy but had medium carbonation. Sweet hoppy finish. Solid brew.
