Why the sudden turn about? I don’t know. Maybe IPA’s, like beer in general, are an acquired taste and perhaps I’ve acquired the taste. Or, maybe I never had a good IPA and I’ve recently had a few very good ones. Perhaps, it’s a combination of the two. Whatever the case I thinking I’m liking IPA’s.
Frankly, I selected the Yellow Snow IPA by Rogue Ales it because of the fun label and a name that couldn’t be denied. The fact that I’m not (or wasn’t) and IPA drinker didn’t matter . . . I had to try it! All I can say is the Yellow Snow was gooooood and didn’t not disappoint.
Rogue started out as a brewpub and is headquartered in
Unlike its namesake, Yellow Snow is immediately inviting . . . it is a deep gold color with bright fruity aroma of grapefruit with a hint of pine. The beer has a cloudy, unfiltered appearance and pours a big head. It’s hoppy, but not in-your-face or over the top. It rolls over the tongue with a hint of caramel and spiciness that fully compliments the citrusy, bitter goodness. Yellow Snow is truly a good brew . . .two thumbs up!
6.2% alcohol by volume.
