Description
Yards has been brewing Philly's beer since 1994. Weβve grown from a garage-sized operation in Manayunk all the way up to our current location at 500 Spring Garden Street in Northern Liberties. And we couldn't have done it without your support through the years. Our beers always have and always will be brewed, bottled, kegged, and canned for the hard working people of Philadelphia and beyond.

16 ounce can. Brassy gold color. Small bubbly white head. Grainy, maple syrup aroma. Light grainy malt flavor hints at vanilla, cinnamon and maple syrup. Thin, light bodied. Sort of reminiscent of French toast. Flavor is out of character for a light bodied brew. OK, but nothing special.

12oz bottle. Really nice Oktoberfest. Doughy, bready, smooth malt tones, luscious Munich malt. Clean, easy drinking. Really perfect balance. Quite an exceptional beer.

Ever so slightly hazy golden coloured body with a very thin, fast-dying, just off-white head that doesn't have chance to leave a lace, given that it's faded so quickly. Aroma of dry and grassy malts with a light dose of coriander seed, yeast, breadiness and a good hit of full oranges along with a mild hop bitterness, at least in the nose. Light to Medium-bodied; Biting astringency and dry hopping show through first with a lot of pungency and robust metallic quality that brings out a little sweetness, but mainly a dry and herbal character with some light sweetness and a soft fruit-based note that comes through closer to the end. Aftertaste shows some dryness of course, but a good deal of both coriander seed and wheat with a little bit of funky, yeast and even spicey qualities at the finish. Overall, a pugent and robust quality with some easier drinking notes and a touch of sweetness at the tail end without too much range or depth this is pretty easy-going and tastes just like it looked like after a fairly simple profile. I sampled this sixteen ounce can, purchased from Gettysburg Beer Mart in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania on 12-May-2021 for US$4,99 and canned on 01-April-2021, sampled at my house here in Washington on 02-October-2021.

12oz bottle. Rather unique, a full bodied honey ale, with a lot of interesting malt/grain nuances. Easy drinking, balanced, smooth, with some pleasant heft. Good.

12oz bottle. 32oz bottle from the brewery was the first time I had it but...Really nice stuff. Hoppy balance, but maintains a nice dark backbone. More balance, finesse, class than most beers out there these days. A classic Porter, really well done.

16 ounce can. Bright yellow gold color. Frothy beige head. Zesty citrus hop aroma. Notes of lemon zest, tangerine and honeysuckle. Light crisp flavor has lemony, clover-like nuances. Thin bodied, yet flavorful. Some graininess along with hints of cardamom and coriander.

Can from my father: pours clear copper with a white head. Aroma breakfast syrup, cinnamon, but mostly maple and some vanilla. Taste is not too sweet, heavily adjunct laden. Body is a but thin, which makes this pretty drinkable. Not much here past the surface though.

Can from my father, accordingly it is a little On the older side but still within a sane range of an IPA: pours not hazy at all orange gold with a white head. Aroma is pineapple and citrus. Taste is slightly sweet, slightly bitter citrus.
