YSB Wanna B
The quest for a Rogue YSB continues. While sharing some similarities, this is a good beer that stands on it's own merits. This recipe just won 2nd place in the 4C catagory at the Big Bend Brew-Off in Tallahassee. Don't be put off by the color indicater. The true color of this Ale is well within the BJCP parameters for the style.
