Commercial Description:
The drink starts with a mug displaying a deep bronze colour, but the beer is crystal clear. The head is an abundant fine mousse (pronounced 'moose' for the cabin crowd), cream coloured and just spilling over the rim of the glass (if you got the good waitress, Yukon trained and all). As you raise the mug, your senses catch the fine aromas permeating from the glass, clean malty sweetness touched by spicy hop esters. The first draw of the ale cools the parched lips and moistens the cheeks. Full malt body takes over the palate; not sweet, but bold, fruity and persistent. A snap of clean hop bitter grabs the back of the tongue and springs into the sinus cavity, blending with the caramel flavours that have wafted back with the nectar that is this ale. But the swallow goes down clean, almost dry, and leaves only a slight lingering presence of the abundant flavours that were just there, and now gone! Many more draws on the mug, many more mouth-filling flavour experiences, and always that clean finish, saying "How about another?!!".

An amazing dark amber colour with a medium off whtie coloured head. Aroma is of flowers, caramel and hints of mollasses and nuts. Taste is mostly malty and caramelly. Overall, this is a great beer. I am very impressed by Yukon brewing company and will have to try as many of their beers as I can.

Draught at Hop In Brew Pub, Calgary
Amber to dark amber color, creamy head. It has a soft creamy aroma, ashes, very light fruitness (the hop?). Soft mouthfeel too, creamy, with caramel flavor, a hint of quality hops, good bitterness. Pleasant.

A decent little quaffer, could be very drinkable. Has a nice balance of caramel malt and citrus hops. Has a flowery fresh hop nose, and it just all works together. A nice little surprise.

Pours red with a thin off white head. Smells malty and sweet with some sweet citrussy undertones and touches of roses. Tastes malty and slightly tarte with some peppery splashes and a semi earthy finish. Not bad.

Yukon Arctic Red - This is an average amber ale -- above average by Candian standards. I like it, but there are others I like better.
