Rogue Yellow Snow IPA.


Thick, persistent, but foamy head. Hazy amber. Decent but nondescript floral. Initial sweetness, very clean tasting, well hopped, finishes with a clean hop bitter as well that lingers on the palate but not unpleasantly so. My first impression is that it's an analog to Goose Island. Where theirs leans more heavily on being floral, Rogue errs on the side of hoppiness. It's very well-balanced and not heavy or overdone the way Hoptical Illusion or Hop Wallop are. Pretty good brew. I'd like to try it side by side with a Goose Island.
