Our Tastes-- Yazoo Amarillo Pale Ale

On a recent field trip The Enabler and I picked up 6 or so growlers, one of which was this little dandy. Now we also picked up Sly Rye Porter, ESB and Dos Perros. Well Dos Perros didn't last long and from what I can remember was a wonderful brew that will simply have to be gotten again on a soon to be mentioned summer field trip. Sly Rye Porter has already been blogged (see the Our Tastes catagory) and though I was in lust with the ESB in an ironic twist this one was flat due to not being sealed properly after the bar maiden blew the keg on filling my growler. We'll give this one another try this summer. It has a dark straw color and light foam head. This is a very unique beer in that they use Amarillo hops only in the brewing process. This hop is American grown and described as "super Cascade" with AAUs being between 5% to 11%. It has a citrusy note and is a mutation of another hop variety that was introduced by Virgil Gamache Farms Inc. I give this beer a FRD!
