(22 oz bottle: Rogue Ales Brewery in Newport, OR) Bitter and floral hops dominates this brew, and it’s not a flavor I’m enjoying all that much. I have no idea what juniper berries taste like, but nothing comes across as being berry-like to me. So I spent a few minutes researching the juniper berry, and I guess it’s adding to the unique bitterness I’m getting. After swallowing, the long, bitter aftertaste takes on a piney character. Pale malts are lightly sweet and mildly bready. Medium-bodied, typical amount of carbonation. Medium-golden in color, a bit hazy, capped by a quarter inch of whitish head on the pour, but that settles to a wide ring after awhile. Honestly, I never really cared for this beer when it was Yellow Snow and I don’t find the beer to be any more enjoyable after the repackaging.

Feb 7, 2010 Glass. Pours a copper-pumpkin. With about a 16th of an inch white head. Aroma is of nectar, mellow hoppyness, estery. Palate is smooth, with a short, slightly bitter finish. Good beer, but not oustanding.

Feb 4, 2010 On tap at Yard House (West Palm, FL) while watching the Vikings kill my team, the Giants (last game before playoffs... they weren’t making it anyway and now they get a higher draft pick so all is o.k.): Golden with a diminishing, fizzy white head. Pine, herbal, light bready malts to start. Perfumed throughout. Bitter finish. Juicy smack. Drinkability: Light and interesting... a good binger, and goes well with my chicken nachos. Rebuy: Yes. #264 on 04022010, DG.

Jan 30, 2010 Bomber pours amber with little retaining off white head into a tumbler. Aroma of pale hops, vaguely detectable juniper, floral with a touch of honey. Very similar nose: quite a delicate flavor with light hops, quite floral and nectary, bready malts, herbal and quite tea-like, slightly bitter with a vague pine-juniper in the finish; dry. Light bodied with a medium carbonation level and a slick mouthfeel. Quite drinkable and sessionable. Not bad, nothing special.
