We invited over a few friends last night to have a tasting of my blueberry stout that just carbed up. Among the other beers had also had on hand was a mixed pack from local Uinta Brewing Company's Organic line. Included in it was their extra pale ale, Wyld, which I really enjoyed when we visited Uinta's taproom in the fall. While a lot of the local beers haven't done a lot for us, it's nice to come across something really nice like this.
Date - 18 February 2012
Venue - My house
==========
Appearance - Clear, golden, with just a little head developing.
Aroma - Lots of stone fruit (apricot, peach); bread is also prominent.
Taste - Fresh, clean malt with a moderate assertive bitterness. Breadiness in the nose is very prominent in the aftertaste. It leaves quickly and cleanly, though a light bitterness lingers.
Mouthfeel - Light and easygoing; moderate carbonation.
Overall - This is a really great session beer; it's almost too drinkable. Light and refreshing, with a lot of flavour. I really like the bready quality, though it might get old after a few pints.
