Appearance - Pours a light copper with two fingers of creamy white head.

Smell - bready caramel malts, leafy and citrus hops, melon, and orange.

Taste - Bready caramel malts followed by a bitter punch from the leafy and citrus hops. The melon and orange follow suit.

Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Finishes off-dry with a pleasant lingering bitterness.

Overall - An enjoyable APA from Yukon. The pleasant bitterness of the hops mingle with the bready caramel malts to create a winner.

Very nice. Reminds me a little of Sierra Nevada Pake Ale but with a slightly more bitter finish and a bit more caramel malt backbone.

1L howler from Wine and Beyond - I know that bombers of this are indeed coming, but I was out and about, and I don't wanna wait, waaaah! The name appears to be a reference to Frank Sinatra's 'New York, New York' - got it, and so let me start spreadin' the news!

This beer pours a clear, bright medium copper amber colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly off-white head, which leaves some decent broken and scattered webbed lace around the glass as it slowly seeps away.

It smells of bready, doughy caramel malt, a hint of indistinct dark berry and melon fruitiness, and further leafy, floral, and grassy hops. The taste is biscuity, crackery caramel malt, a sort of pleasantly acerbic mixed fruit character (blackberries and overripe oranges, mostly), mild estery yeast, and some further earthy, weedy, and floral hop bitters.

The bubbles are decently active in their testy and sometimes playful frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and mostly smooth, just a wee fruity edginess looking around, sniffing, and finally bailing out. It finishes off-dry, the biscuity caramel malt lingering well, alongside a few examples of the melon-forward exotic hoppiness.

Overall, a nice re-invention of their pale ale into a sort of hybrid old-new school version. Yep, the biscuity malt predominates, but more than enough of those sexy newfangled American and Oceanic hops do well to make this a pan-global affair. I gotta say, I'm a huge fan of that ESB malt character, and I shouldn't have to re-up my fanboy cred for new and exciting hop varietals, so, yup, this one is another winner from Whitehorse, whose little town blues should be duly melting away!
