16oz pint at the Sugarbowl.
This beer appears a glassy, somewhat hazy, dark bronzed amber hue, with one skinny finger of tight, rather creamy dirty white head, which leaves some amusingly cartoonish splattered lace around the glass as things bleed away.
It smells of bready caramel malt, a subtle biscuit character, a soft drupe fruitiness, and equally sedate earthy, leafy noble hops. The taste is pastry-heavy caramel malt, a touch of toffee, slightly acerbic orchard fruit, and more easy-going leafy, earthy hops. Simple, and quite effective.
The carbonation is low-key, and generally innocuous, the body an adequate medium weight, and smooth, with a wee bit of sugary clamminess. It finishes well off-dry, the pastry sweetness lingering alongside the same in the fruit, as the hops retract their already meagre guns.
An agreeably veritable incarnation of the style, if maybe a tad understated - but Yukon does tend to the English approach, but this is one of the few styles that the British seem to excel in ramping up, so expectations, expectations... oh well, still tasty, and almost worthy of multiple rounds - did I say maybe?
