Yukon Brewing opened its doors in 1997 under the name Chilkoot Brewing Co, in Whitehorse, Yukon. 15 years later and still brewing, they employ over a dozen people, only the name has changed to Yukon Brewery. This is one of their two flagship beers (Yukon Gold Pale Ale being the other) and they both sell equally well. This one happens to be the brewmaster's favourite and I can't say I blame him.
It has a nice reddish-amber colour with a nice thick creamy-white head which clings to the side of the glass.
It has a malty sweetness in the aroma with a nice hoppy bitterness and a little hint of citrus.
It starts clean with the hops coming in mixed with the citrus and the sweetness of the malt and just fades away to leave just a lingering of hops on the tongue.
This is once of the nicest amber ales I've had in a long time. The sweetness of the malt with the citrus notes mingle so very well with the bitterness of the hops creating a great flavour profile. I would suggest this would go well with nearly any meal and of course, go well with some friends on the patio as well.
