Yazoo Pale Ale

Brewed by Yazoo Brewing Company
Style: American Pale Ale
Nashville, Tennessee USA

Serve in Lager glass, Shaker

Crisp aroma is malty, fruity, and just a sliver sweet, not strong or distinctive but still appealing. It pours a clear amber with a fluffy white head that doesn’t leave much lacing. Malty flavor has a fruity underpinning that is mostly apple with some traces of pear. Texture is smooth and minimally fizzy. Not great, but fine for some casual sipping or with a meal.

Bottle on 01/02/2011. Clear golden amber body with a large rocky white head. Sweet floral and pale malt aroma. Sweet citrus and floral hop flavor on a pale malt background. Medium body with moderate carbonation.

I tried this and another of Yazoos in Nashville. I’m not a big hop guy so this was great for me. You can taste the hops, but hey don’t dominate. Smooth and clean.

Bottle pours a clear gold/amber with a tiny white head. Scent is earthy with caramel. Taste is malty with bread and pine notes. Decent

On tap in Nashville. Had an IPA before this, but I would still expect more hop flavor. Hops seem nowhere to be found. Clean, malty, bland. Would not have again.

Bottle. Pours a clear gold with little head and carbonation that dies down quickly. The bottle says I’ll be amazed by the generous hops profile, but I have a hard time picking up much in the nose. A bit of caramel, a little herbal/spicy hops and a touch of floral. Pretty weak. Flavor is a little better, but the malt is a little bit too heavy and sticky and clogs up the hops a bit. It finishes nice and bitter after a quick blast of sugar, but it seems pretty awash.

Bottle Hoppy smell, with a moderate amount of bitterness and a tad bit more hop flavor. Great session beer when it gets hot out. Wish I could buy in Indiana. =)

Tap, Flying Saucer Memphis. Chill hazed bright, light yellow-orange. Aroma doesn’t really suggest much other than some light candy and fruity hop presence. Taste falls on the sweeter side of things, with fruity maltiness, faint tropical and citrus hops. Medium body with soft carbonation...slightly slick.
