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 @ 3 Judges. Clear dark golden colour, off-white head. Aroma caramel malts and distinct smell of strawberry and citrus fruits. Flavour is fruity, some caramel malts and lemonade. Dry finish. Nice one.

(Cask at White Horse, Parson’s Green, London 26 Apr 2007) Pale amber/orange colour with brief white head. Fruity nose with notes of grapefruit and orange, slightly soapy and floral. Fruity, floral taste with mandarin, lemon and honey. Sweetish, but with a nice hoppy bitterness in the finish. Nice session blond.

Cask conditioned at the White Horse, Parsons Green, London. Deep golden colour, moderate head. Minimal carbonation, aroma was hard to detect due to a smoky pub, some aromatic hops around. Flavour is instantly Cascade hops (I think), elderberry-like qualities, not really bitter. An OKish beer, not great, lacks some "bite".

On cask at the White Horse...light amber; explosive hop aroma; slightly minerally palate; good hop flavour but the relatively moderate bitterness tells me they just don't have a full grasp of what the Yankees are up to these days.
