I picked up some Yazoo when I was vacationing through Tennessee earlier in November and now I'm finally getting around to trying some of their brews. Yazoo (http://www.yazoobrew.com) is based out of Nashville and my only regret was that I didn't snag some of their seasonal or limited release stuff. Granted, I didn't really know where to go to find them, and since I was with the wife, I couldn't spend all day in the beer store. Shoutout to Midtown Wine & Spirits, since that's where I went to get my haul.
I didn't know what to expect when I cracked this open. It just said ale, and I know that it could be anything. It poured a nice brown color, with some hints of red. Small one finger head, low retention, not a lot of noticeable lacing. It had a sweet aroma, some caramel notes, along with some malt.
Tasting the brew, I was able to figure it out. The nutty characteristic let me zone in on a brown ale. The initial taste brought some sweetness, but the finish was light, crisp, clean. There was an acidic taste that went with it that wasn't unpleasant. The more I drank it, the more I thought to myself that this is a very good beer. It's also a very light beer. 3.5% ABV. Wasn't expecting that. Still, it makes for a great session beer and I could crack a few of these easy.
Grade: B
Price Paid: $1.79 (12 oz bottle)
