The elusive Yellow Rose by Lone Pints, what's the fuss about?
You might've seen me mention this Yellow Rose beer I've been chasing. It's become sought after by IPA and APA lovers. Kat normally dislikes IPA and other hoppy beers, but this is a different beast. While it is heavily hopped, and has a high IBU rating, it has grapefruit and floral features that balance everything out. We'd found that Kat does like some IPA/APA from our trips to Vermont, where we often find magic in the beers.
I think the Mosaic hops are part of the magic formula. Kat recently found she also likes Founder's Mosaic IPA even more than Yellow Rose.
I've picked up a few bottles here and there. They are hard to come by. It's literally about knowing who to ask, and being in the right place at the right time. When I do find it, it's usually locked up in the back, store staff often hoard it for themselves when they can get it.
Finally, a World Class beer in our area! Check the rating on Beer Advocate.
This is bad timing since we are cutting back on beer consumption, and also giving up land animals in favor of a pescatarian diet. But rules are made to be broken...
