The appearance was a semi-clear golden yellow color with a nice transparency seen and letting a brisk carbonation to be seen rising. Bar pour yielded no head. The smell was a light sweet corn maltiness and a slight quick semi-sting of bitter citrus hops. The taste was mildly sweet corn and the hops tend to disappear. On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a decent sessionability about it. The carbonation seemed good for the style and for me. There’s a nice smooth sweet corn aftertaste that led to a sweet dry finish. Overall, good blonde ale by a new company to me.

Appearance - Pours a deep straw gold with two fingers of bubbly white head.
Smell - Grass/hay, apple, somewhat adjunct aromas (metallic), hint of earthy hops and lemon.
Taste - Pretty standard flavours of grassy malts, hay, apple, and corn adjuncts.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Crisp finish.
Overall - A ho hum, basic golden ale. This would be something that newcomers to craft beer could try out. Kind of a lackluster offering in their 20th anniversary celebration series.

650ml bottle - this is either the second or third installment of Yukon Brewing's 12 different beers over the year of their 20th anniversary.
This beer pours a clear, bright pale golden yellow colour, with two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly off-white head, which leaves some decent Swiss cheese lace around the glass as it quickly sinks away.
It smells of bready and doughy pale malt, a bit of white saltine cracker dryness, subtle pome and citrus fruit rind esters, and some plain leafy, earthy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, more white crackers, a mild green grape fruitiness, and some laid-back earthy, weedy, and floral verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its quotidian frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and mostly smooth, in a hardened northern landscape manner, if that makes any sort of sense. It finishes off-dry, but not by much, as the malt continues to bottom out, sugar-wise, while the hops and somewhat edgy fruitiness take up the slack.
Overall, this is an approachable, and generally satisfying blonde ale, nothing complicated, but earnest in its well-made nature. Something to illustrate what craft brewing anywhere in western Canada was like back in 1997 (re: Big Rock), I'm happy to sip away at the rest of this one while watching some Sunday night TV. Man, am I ever getting older.
