Y-27
Magic Hat Brewing Company

++Update: Had this beer again last night, 8-28-09. Same beer, they update the name yearly. Drank Y-34 last night. Not retired, just rebranded! ++

From notes. On tap at Yesterdays, as far as I know the only place to get it.

A- Moderate gold with a touch of mild amber, with a decent, yet quick-fading head.

S- This smells like a typical APA/hefe. Not great, but no slouch either.

T- Fairly good. Pretty well-balanced, good with spicy food. Hops cut through on top, but enough malt to provide a decent body.

M- Crisp, refreshing

D- Pretty high, but with all the taps that Yesterday's has, I'll only have one of these. Still a decent beer.

Y-27, why Y-27 you ask? This was made speical for Yesterday's in Newport, RI. Y for Yesterday's and 27 for July 2001 for doing 27 years of business. So you can only find this beer at Yesterday's in Newport. I guess once in a while they'll have this on-tap. But on the humid Saturday evening, this did the job alright. A crisp golden/yellow color with a nice amount of carbonation that left quite a bit of lacing around the glass after I was done. Smell was a little on the light side. Some wheat aromas along with some buttery undertones from the Ringwood yeast. I was hoping the aftertate wasn't going to be a butter bomb, but luckily it wasn't. Taste was a little on the light side as well but some good wheat/hop flavors with a slight buttery aftertaste. Some spiciness was in there as well. Waitress said it was similiar to Miss Bliss, but I never had a chance to taste it. Mouthfeel was light-medium with the right amount of carbonation mixing in. Overall a nice beer to wash down food with. If in Newport RI, do go to Yesterday's and try this beer out, if they have it still.
