Review of Creature Comforts Yonah Skins
When it comes to intricately crafted beverages from small-batch breweries, Creature Comforts’ Yonah Skins certainly stands tall. No, not just tall – it soars. And with its distinguished, light pink hue and sprightly, grape-infused flavor, it’s no wonder it’s become somewhat of a hidden gem within the local brewing culture.
Delighting the Senses
The crucial part of any drink is often its aroma. And one of the most impressive things about Yonah Skins is undoubtedly its delightful aroma, which I’d easily grade as an impeccable 11. It envelopes you in a wave of bright, subtle grape character that meshes seamlessly with the beer’s light funk. This beer showcases how using local grape skins from the Yonah Mountain Vineyards can exponentially enrich a beverage’s bouquet.
Beauteous Appearance
As they say, appearances matter and this beer scores a commendable 3 in this aspect. Impossibly light, it bears an alluring pinkish tone akin to a tender grapefruit. It leaves a stunning first impression that beckons you to uncover the depths of its flavor further. This beer’s beautiful appearance represents a true visual delight.
Masterful Blend of Flavor
Coming to probably the most vital component: flavor. Here Yonah Skins masterfully blends a tantalizing mix of sweet grape and wildflower honey to deliver a rich, celestial palette of flavor which merits a wholesome score of 20. The medium-low acid and pinch of earthiness provide the perfect counter to the sweetness, striking an excellent balance. The grape character is very admirably integrated, balancing the overall acidity of the drink.
The First Sip and Beyond
With a flawless score of 4 for its mouthfeel, Yonah Skins doesn’t spare any efforts to make itself utterly irresistible. On your first sip, a spritzy prickling sensation courtesy of the carbonation greets your tongue. However, the acidity is fleeting, a mere brief hit before the sip tapers off into a lingering, dry, sparkly rosé finish. It’s a nerve-tingling journey from start to finish, an absolute testament to the intricate craft of brewing at Creature Comforts.
Final Thoughts
So, with the soaring cladograms, rosé-like hues, and an encapsulating blend of flavors, the Creature Comforts Yonah Skins scores an overwhelming 96 out of 100.
