355ml bottle. (5.9% ABV) Pours a cloudy gold with a small, frothy, long lasting, white head that leaves curtains of lace. Mild, sweet aroma of wheat malt, bread, lemon and light yeast. Sweet flavour of wheat malt, orange, lemon, bread and yeast with a slightly dry finish. Light body with a watery texture and soft carbonation. A mediocre wheat ale, hard to believe it won any awards.

On tap at the Sun Room in the Lake Yellowstone Hotel. Pours a dark, bronze color, with a medium, beige head. The nose is rye, some strong pine sap, chalk, and mud. Not very sweet, with a sharp, biting bitter flavor. Medium body, thick, and grainy. This is a pretty nice IPA, but a little harsh and off. Could be better.

At Soda Butte Lodge Prospector Restaurant, Cooke City. Pours clear dark amber with a lasting, small, frothy, off-white head. Smells a bit off. The aroma contains hops, hay, grass, malt and some caramel. It tastes medium to light hoppy bitter, light malty sweet, with a light bitter finish and lingering maltiness. Medium body, oily texture, fizzy carbonation. It’s like a combination of an IPA and an Amber Ale...

Sample at Mackenzie River Pizza Co., Bozeman. Pours hazy dark amber with a lasting, foamy, off-white head. The aroma contains malt, caramel, bread and some herbs, but is not that intense. It tastes light sweet and light bitter with a medium long finish. Light body, slick texture, fizzy carbonation. Enjoyable but underwhelming.

Taking a trip to Yellowstone Park gives me the opportunity to sample local brews. Bent Nail was bought as a single 12 oz bottle at a Billings establishment. I could not get it as cold as I would prefer but that is not going to stop me. Drinking out of the bottle restricts opinion on color and head. A smell gives a cascade hops grain and citrus reply. The taste is a light hoppiness, bread and a slow-ending bitterness. No world beater but fair enough.
