The lighter beer of our two offerings, this ale was designed to be an almost "non-ale". It is golden in colour, brilliantly clear, and clean across the palate. The mix of 4 malts still provides subtle character in the body, and the addition of malted wheat provides a slight, but characteristic citrusy finish. Hopped with noble Saaz and Golding, the bitter is barely perceptible, but mild hop flavours linger in the after-taste; the dry, clean finish provides a refreshing perk at the back of the palate. The full package mimics the classic milds of the British Isles, with a bit of Yukon spirit, just to make sure you remember what part of the world you're in! (Formerly Chilkoot Pale Ale, pre 1999).

[1] Review by mmmmBeer from Edmonton, Canada who has tried this beer a couple times. (10/12/2006 6:54:13 PM)
"Honey brown with a slight red hue I guess that makes it a bit of an orange color and was slightly cloudy. A moderate head was produced that disappeared rather quickly only leaving a skiff of bubbles behind. The aroma had medium to light grapefruit hops with some caramel maltiness, the sent was very light but still noticeable. The flavor has this strange buttery popcorn in it and very lightly hopped, strange this beer seems to have a ton of flavor but I can’t seem to taste any of it, the finish is malty and a mild bitter after taste is left behind. Enjoyable beer, easy drinking and is well crafted enough a beer snob can appreciate it, and a peasant will drink it, and its easy on the wallet."

[2] Review by BigBry from Calgary, Canada who has tried this beer once. (8/7/2006 12:40:47 AM)
"One of the selections in the Yukon "Thirst Aid Kit" mixed 12 pack, came with a free logoed pint glass.
Pours a nice golden color, nice looking head to start, but then shrinks away, with minimal lacing. Smells of caramel and malt, but not really strong. There is some citrus hops, but not what you expect from an APA. Again the taste is malty and sweeter, rather than the hop presence expected. I got a bit of metallic aftertaste. Average mouthfeel, good carbonation. Nice tasting, smooth, easy to drink. Accept it for what it is - don't expect a lot of Pale Ale bitterness."

[3] Review by beercronic from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada who has tried this beer many times. (7/25/2006 1:13:02 AM)
"A bit on the orange side with an well poured off white head that quickly drops down to the standard skim. Some lacing, but most of it slowly slides back into the beer. Malt smell is a little off: maybe a bit harsh, there is a light citrus smell that isn't quite grapefruit, but it is very mild and probally made up in my head. So is the faint Bazooka Joe Gum scent...ahhh, good old Pud...but there is somewhat of a sweetness to it as well. Taste is malty for sure and maybe even wheaty...but all the undertone tastes disappear too quick to identify. Mouthfeel has some mildy spicy hops that do a good job leaving a dry aftertaste. Medium bodied. I like this beer. There is a lot of qualities here that my nose and tongue cannot get to fast enough. Drinkable at 2 or 3 at the most before reaching for the Old Style Pilsner and getting rrrrippppped."

[5] Review by Carole from Basin, Wyoming, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (8/19/2005 7:06:34 AM)
"I had this on an unusually warm summer day in Whitehorse, YT. It was a great thirstquencher, but beyond that it did very little for me. While the color was a little richer, the flavor was very Coorsey."
