One of the original, new-style, pale ales to be brewed in the UK, Yankee™ is a modern classic. Light and easy-drinking, it’s a beer that showcases the floral and citrus fruit aromas of the Cascade hop, grown in the Yakima Valley in Washington State, USA, projected against a back drop of soft Yorkshire water and golden promise pale malt.

Cask at Beacons Festival, Skipton. An ok session beer with some fruity bitterness & citrus hops but everything in very mild doses. Like all the beers at this festival was a bit flat, so would have to try in a proper pub to really appreciate.

Cask @ Golden Rule, Edinburgh [020813]
Golden, dense white head, some lacing
Aroma - Very soft fruity sweet malt, light citrus hops, light nose
Taste of soft fruity malts, soft citrus, touch of lemon, light fruits, soft lemon, a bit dull
Palate - Medium body, fairly oily, light sweet palate. Finish as main flavour, soft, cleans off palate
Overall - Easy going, ok, bit bland to be honest. Maybe the condition is not right here - worth a re-rate

Medium beige creamy head. Clear golden body. Light spicy strawy aroma with fruity wooden notes. Dry-sweet dusty wooden taste with strawy fruity notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft, smooth mouthfeel. Dryish dusty strawy freshly sawn wood aftertaste with floral dandelion notes. Really nice. Highly drinkable, yet has real character. (0.284l cask at The Blue Boar, York.)

Cask @ The flying horse, Gatwick . Almost clear golden body with a rather small but dense white head. Nice citric fruit aroma, nothing really special but it makes me happy at an airport. Flavor is nice, smooth light malty with a decent fruity bitterness. Medium body and an aftertaste that has some bitterness. A really nice session ale with a nice smooth flavor that would not offend anyone at all.

Half, cask at The Palace. Creamy white head covering a next to clear golden body. Fresh hop fruity smell. Passion fruity taste with a touch of mild honey and tea. Nice bittersweet ending. Session qualities (Leeds, 12.07.2012).
