go for gold

As the Beer Weeks draw to a close, I feel I should end on lighter notes.  Yria Golden Ale seems light enough.  They do some more creative beers, like the coffee stout at the fair, but this one looks pretty standard.  Which, of course, doesn't mean it's not interesting.  It has a dark honey color and a mild tang in its scent.  The taste has just a little bite, so it seems like the sweeter ingredients keep any bitterness well under control. It's a good all year ale: served cool it would be good for winter with some little hot snack, and at a slightly colder temperature very refreshing on a hot summer evening.  With a few missteps, we're lurching towards the latter now.

The beer looks darker with the flash, but the label in invisible without it.
The beer is still pretty enough
