Rogue Ales' Yellow Snow IPA from Newport, Oregon is a crisp, fruit-forward American IPA that rewards careful tasting. At 6.2% ABV, it strikes a balance between hop intensity and drinkability. Brewed with Rogue Farms Dare and Risk malts alongside Amarillo and Coastal hops, the beer presents a pale golden colour and an inviting citrus-forward nose.

The palate opens with bright hop character and a lingering, assertive bitterness that defines the finish. A medium body supports the hop profile without becoming heavy, making this a beer suited to extended drinking sessions. Yellow Snow's World Beer Championships gold medal (2012) reflects its ability to deliver meaningful hop presence without excess.
