review: Yellowstone Valley Brewing Wild Fly Ale

Today's beer adventure: Yellowstone Brewing Wild Fly Ale (Montana, USA). 355ml bottle. 5.9% ABV. Served in pint glass. Purchased at during our last trip to Plentywood for "supplies". About $12.00 for 6 once you get them across the border.

The pour is a pleasing dark amber, almost brown. A little bit opaque. 1-1/2 fingers of white head. Fairly high carbonation. Great lacing. Nose is toffee, plum, lemon, a bit of pine, honey(?).

The flavour is sweet - honey up front, caramel/toffee, the pine is there and the lemon as well - cutting the sweetness a bit. Lots of sweet malty back end.

Rating is 6.5/10 dogs. Decent. This is another where I had a bottle before I put it in a glass to taste and the glass makes a big difference - I wasn't too much of a fan of this when it was in the bottle. Overall a little too sweet for me - honey sweet rather than malty sweet.
