A sharp texture drives the beer — a clean, direct pour with room for the palate to fill in.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Ypra
◎ Appearance
Ypra presents a clear, golden hue with bright transparency. A thin white head forms on the pour, displaying fine carbonation and modest lacing that clings delicately to the glass. The visual profile is characteristic of a well-crafted Belgian blonde, clean and inviting.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with bright citrus notes—orange and grapefruit dominate, supported by subtle berry undertones from the five-hop blend. Beneath the hop character lies a soft, grainy malt foundation that does not overwhelm. The bouquet is fresh and lively, with no solvent or yeast-driven phenolics.
◐ Taste
Entry is soft and smooth, with a light malty sweetness that establishes body without heaviness. Mid-palate remains balanced, allowing the citrus and hop bitterness to develop gently rather than aggressively. The finish brings a refined, citrus-edged bitterness that resolves cleanly at 23 IBU, never sharp or astringent.
◑ Finish
The aftertaste is crisp and moderately dry, with citrus notes lingering pleasantly without persistence. A gentle hop bitterness fades evenly, leaving the palate refreshed rather than weighted.
Serve & Enjoy
How to get the most out of Ypra
Serve at 7–10°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.
The wide mouth and heavy base promote head formation and channel rich aromatics toward the nose. Traditional for Belgian strong ales.
Store in a cool, dark place. Check the best-before date on the label for guidance.
