I did a take on Yazoo's Pale Ale a while back. It was very tasty, but I wanted to take another run at it in an AG batch. Besides, I know a lot more about their recipe now, so I should have a closer-to-clone result. Regardless, it (hopefully) will be a fine brew, clone or not. The Better Bottle is all comfy in the fermenting fridge... If the smell is an indication, this will be a good one...

Side-by-side comparison with Yazoo Pale Ale...
Color? spot-on
Aroma? mine's a tiny bit more cascade forward, but pretty similar
Taste? again, mine's a bit more hop forward (not by much), while theirs has a bit more from the Vienna malt.
I think mine will balance with a bit more age, but pretty darn similar. Very, very happy with this.
