Yukon Gold - Yukon Brewing Company (Canada - Yukon - Whitehorse) 5%


Yukon Gold - Yukon Brewing Company (Canada - Yukon - Whitehorse) 5%

A aroma of grain that is also sweet, lightly hoppy, a bit spicy with a touch of red fruit and slightly bitter. Gold and clear in a glass with the barest hint of red.

Very sweet and lightly roasty with some tastes of grain or biscuit (like a tea biscuit, not a cookie) and a dry hops flavour. The dryness imparted by the hops is typical of the hops character I associate with an English Pale Ale. There is a mild nutty flavour in the finish: this too is a flavour I expect from an English Pale Ale.

I find Yukon Gold by the Yukon Brewing company is just a bit sweeter than a perfect English Pale Ale but that may just be my interpretation of the style; it is definitely quite a good beer.
