Yellowstone Valley Numbskull Pale Ale

Brewed by Yellowstone Valley Brewing Company
Style: American Pale Ale
Billings, Montana USA

Draft sample at Yellowstone under the name (My)PA IPA . Poured clear copper color with an average creamy off-white head that mostly lasted with excellent lacing. Moderate to heavy floral sour citrus aroma. Medium body with a slick dry texture and lively carbonation. Medium to heavy bittersweet flavor with a medium to heavy bittersweet finish of moderate duration. This is a standout for this house.

Thanks to skyview for sharing. Strong citrus hop aroma, predominately grapefruit. Hazy gold color with white head. Enough malt to balance the hops, but not too sweet and very hoppy.

(growler from Skyview) This is a solid Pale Ale. Pours cloudy amber with a white head. Really nice hoppy aroma, with a lot of grapefruit peel and orange showing up. Taste is bitter, but some sweetness is there to balance it out too. The finish is a nice interplay between grain and hops. Thick mouthfeel.

One of the best American pale ales I have had. Intense hop aroma. Very flavorful, and a full bodied hop flavor with some sweet malt. The hops are intense. Some fruit and a little pine.

Delicious. Growler courtesy of Skyview. This is one of the best pale ales I have had. A hazy golden pour with a finger thick whitish head. Citrusy hop aroma (orange or orange peel) as well as a floral aroma. The taste was great. Some tropical fruitiness as well as citrus as in the aroma. Slightly malty flavor as well but more hops than anything else. Great beer!

Thanks to Skyview for sharing. Very citrusy hops that shine with tangerine and orange flavors. There is a hint of pineyness as well as some soft tropical fruits and biscuity malt. A really nice balanced APA.

[Growler, thanks Skyview] Pours hazy dark gold with a small off-white head. Aroma is pretty good with a lot of pineapple and citrus. Taste also has the pineapple and citrus from the hops, but a fair amount of grain too. Medium mouthfeel, good finish. A pretty solid APA.

Another growler from Skyview. Cloudy copper color with a medium head. Strong and powerful orange, tangerine and citrus aroma. Much the same in the taste, but with a grassy hop finish. Very good APA.
