Yazoo's Pale Ale is a subtle and artistic take on the IPA. Thanks to the new Amarillo hop there is a delicate and slightly sweet citrus note to the nose. I could also pick up hints of malt which I found quite pleasant. Because the hops are so well balanced, the acidic oil content is low enough that you don't feel like you just swallowed a week cough syrup. There is the clean, crisp and dry hop finish without being harsh. The head doesn't linger too long and is not overly bitter. I am not generally a fan of IPA's, but this is a refreshing brew that I will definitely drink again.

This is a clean your palate between dark beer offering. Very crisp and clean. I purchased this in a Yazoo 12 sampler and enjoyed it after a Dos Perros. The clean flavor of this Pale Ale is definetly mild in comparison to the other Pale Ales you may be used to. I think that this is a good summer beer and would recommend this to those who are not ready for too much hop. On the other hand if you like the really hoppy brews you may be suprised at Yazoo's version. This would make a good outdoor barbeque beer.

Ok, you make this sound pretty good; but will it go with homemade chocolate chip cookies? (We're talkin' gourmet chocolate with homemade vanilla bean extract and farm fresh eggs?) We like to linger after a good dinner of short ribs and mashed potatoes (homemade, of course) and would love to have a lighter tasting beer that could work with dessert, too at our next barbeque.
ReplyDeleteWell Dick, I really think this Ale would suit those needs. The clean taste would definetly pair well with your barbeque plans. I might even try a Yazoo's Hefeweizen for that pairing also. You'll have fun trying anyway!
