White Sails Brewing Co. – Yellow Point Pale Ale Review
Nanaimo’s White Sails likes to name their beers after local landmarks an the Yellow Point Pale Ale is no exception. This beer comes in at 35 IBUs, 5.5% and is amber-brown in colour. Nearly three fingers of dense and lacing head settles slowly from the beer. An aroma of toasted malt, caramel, and English-style hop bitterness comes on the nose in a nice floral manner. The taste too is quite toasty with a caramel sweetness to it. The floral hop tones build quite quickly and give a balanced bitterness to the tasting. This beer is English in style as far as Pale Ales go but that is no reason that a BC craft beer fan can’t enjoy it. The Yellow point is balanced, well crafted and a very enjoyable BC brewed Pale Ale.
Alcohol – 5.5%
IBU – 35
Size – 650ml bottle
