Pale Ale
Little Yeoman Brewery

Pours a cloudy, orange color. 1/6 inch head of an off-white color. Poor retention and poor lacing. Smells of floral hops and sweet malt. Aroma is rather weak. Fits the style of an American Pale Ale. Mouth feel is smooth and crisp with an average carbonation level. Tastes of floral hops, sweet malt, and citrus. Overall, a simple, but very refreshing and smooth APA.

It has a dark orange almost bronze body there is a lot of carbonation. It has a nice tan head and lace. It smells of banana and clove which is different for this style. It has sweet malty taste. It reminds me of maybe malt liquor meets a pale ale. There are some fruity and floral esters in the taste. The mouthfeel is thin but good and refreshing.

Brewed with SA-04 "whitbred" yeast and Briess 2 row malt and bottle conditioned. Nice crisp example of the style. IBUs maybe up a little since the last time I tried this when it was being brewed near Willow Springs by founder Steve Markley. Current owner and brewmaster, Chad Fredrick may have tweaked the recipe or perhaps the N.W. Cabool ground water is a little higher in Mg+ than the water 25 miles to the south west. I am betting on the former and IMHO the Pale Ale is the better for it.
